it is the rate of change of velocity..

accleration is the first derivitive of velocity or the second derivitive of position with time. Probably the first definition is easier to grasp; it indicates how fast velocity is changing as a function of time.
With a given mass, acceleration confers on the mass force. If accleration is constant, Force= mass x accleration. On earth, gravity acts as a constant acceration at 9.8 meters/second/second. We don't feel affected by this until we try to jump or fall in a hole.

Force= mass * velocity *velocity
Accelaration = velocity * velocity = Force / Mass
Accelaration can defined as rate of increase of velocity per unit time.
Unit of accelaration is meter / (sec * sec)

It's the gradual increase in speed from start until rest.

Acceleration is a change in velocity.
this means a change in either speed or direction.
eg slowing down, speeding up, turning

the rate of change of velocity would be the basic definition for acceleration .... remember it is a vector quantity ... that means it has direction also ....
