Those are vectors, you cannot add their magnitudes.ladkee said:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time. The formula for acceleration is a = (vf - vi) / t, where a is acceleration, vf is final velocity, vi is initial velocity, and t is time.
Average acceleration is the change in velocity over a time interval, while instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at a specific moment in time. Instantaneous acceleration can be calculated by finding the derivative of the velocity function.
The magnitude of acceleration is the absolute value of the acceleration vector. It can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, where the magnitude is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual components of the acceleration vector.
The direction of acceleration can be determined by looking at the direction of the acceleration vector. This can be represented using a coordinate system, where the positive direction is towards the right and the negative direction is towards the left. The angle of the acceleration vector can also be measured with respect to the x-axis.
