Answer

The euation a = (v - u)/t defines acceleration as the change in velocity divided by the time taken. Here, 'a' is acceleration, 'v' is final velocity, 'u' is initial velocity, and 't' is time. This formula shows how uickly an object's velocity changes. For example, if a car accelerates from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 4 seconds, its acceleration is (30 - 10)/4 = 5 m/s².
