Give an operational definition of acceleration?

Answer 1

"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". It means the rate at which velocity is changing.

And "velocity" doesn't mean "speed". It means speed and direction.

Answer 2

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either increasing or decreasing. It is typically quantified as meters per second squared (m/s^2).

Answer 3

The change of velocity divided by time required for that change.

Answer 4

Acceleration (a= f/m) Force divided by mass and velocity divided by time a=v/t.

Answer 5

Rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

Answer 6

Any change of speed or direction of motion.

Answer 7

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity (dv/dt). Since velocity is rate of change of position, acceleration works out to dx/dt^2.
