Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
[tex]acceleration = \frac{(final \: velocity - initial \: velocity)}{time} \\ or \\ a = \frac{(v - u)}{t} \\ \\ The \: S.I. \: unit \: of \: acceleration \: is \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } \: or \: m {s}^{ - 2} [/tex].
My last year's notes on acceleration is attached. Hope it helps you!!
