What is Acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In physics, acceleration is commonly measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) in the metric system and feet per second squared (ft/s²) in the imperial system.

How is Acceleration Measured?

Acceleration is calculated using the formula a = Δv / t, where a is acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and t is the time over which the change occurs. It can also be measured using accelerometers in various applications.

Applications of Acceleration

Automotive engineering for vehicle performance analysis
Aerospace industry for flight dynamics and stability
Sports science to analyze athlete performance
Seismology to measure ground movement during earthquakes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between velocity and acceleration?

Velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction, while acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

What is uniform acceleration?

Uniform acceleration occurs when an object’s velocity changes at a constant rate, such as free-fall motion under gravity.

How is acceleration related to force?

Acceleration is directly related to force through Newton’s Second Law of Motion, which states that F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
