Acceleration in rate of change of velocity..... a=dv÷dt

The main thing you keep in mind that is accelaration positive or negtive.....Because If a person slowing down from 60kmph to 50kmph,here change in velocity is 10 so acceleration is 10 but it is negative(decreasing)..Same way he person again come to 60kmph from50kmph..obviosly his acceleration is 10.but it is in increasing so we say positive or Increasing acceleration....

accelaration is the rate of change of velocity.it shows how velocity is chaging with respect to time

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to
each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same
radius and mass m is placed over the void created by
the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls
kept on the floor to each other if the system remains
in equilibrium.
