Quantity Catalog - Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time. It measures how quickly the speed of an object is increasing or decreasing.
Common units of measurements related to acceleration include meters per second squared (m/s^2) and feet per second squared (ft/s^2).
- Acceleration is crucial in understanding the motion of objects
- It helps in determining the forces acting on an object
- Acceleration is essential in fields like physics, engineering, and sports science
