Question
what is the correct definition of acceleration? the change of velocity over time the change of inertia over time the change of velocity over distance the change of speed over time
Acceleration is a vector - quantity defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Velocity is a vector that includes both speed and direction. Inertia is related to mass and resistance to change in motion, and change of velocity over distance is not acceleration. Change of speed over time does not account for direction changes in velocity.
