Acceleration close accelerationThe rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken. is the rate of change of velocity. It ...

gradient = \(\frac{change~in~y}{change~in~x} = \frac{change~in~speed}{change~in~time} = \) \( \frac{change~in~metres~per~second}{change~in~seconds}\) = metres per ...
