Acceleration

In the real world, everything is always in motion. Objects move at a variable or a constant speed. When someone steps on the accelerator or applies brakes on a car, the speed of the car increases or decreases and the direction of the car changes. In physics, these changes in velocity or directional magnitude of a moving object are represented by acceleration
