Acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of:
Correct answer: C. Velocity
- A. Displacement
- B. Time
- C. Velocity
- D. Distance
Explanation
Acceleration:Time rate of change in velocity is called acceleration.Mathematically:a=Δv/ΔtHence, C is the correct option.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
