Acceleration MCQ with Answers Pdf: 

• Acceleration is a physical quantity in physics and a vector. 
• It is mainly used in classical physics. 
• It is generally represented by the letter a. 
• The unit in the International System of Units is meters per second squared (m/s²). 
• Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity vector concerning time, describing how fast the direction and magnitude of the velocity change.
• Acceleration is caused by force and is a very important physical quantity in classical mechanics because of Newton’s second law. 
• Accelerations in a certain frame of reference in an inertial reference frame appear as inertial forces in that frame of reference. 
• Acceleration is also directly or indirectly related to various effects, such as electromagnetic radiation.
