QUESTION:
Acceleration is generally defined as the time rate of change of velocity. When can it be defined as the time rate of change of speed?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. Since displacement is vector quantity so velocity will also be vector quantity.
Now acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Similarly as velocity is vector quantity, so acceleration will also be a vector quantity.
