π Understanding Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. It is calculated using:
Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity – Initial Velocity) / Time
The unit of acceleration is **meters per second squared (m/sΒ²)**.
π Examples of Acceleration Calculation
| Initial Velocity (m/s) | Final Velocity (m/s) | Time (s) | Acceleration (m/sΒ²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 20 | 4 | 5 |
| 10 | 30 | 5 | 4 |
| 5 | 25 | 10 | 2 |
β FAQs
Q1: How do I calculate acceleration?
β
Acceleration is calculated using the formula **a = (v_f – v_i) / t**, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and t is time.
Q2: What are the SI units of acceleration?
β
Acceleration is measured in **meters per second squared (m/sΒ²)**.
Q3: Can acceleration be negative?
β
Yes, negative acceleration (deceleration) occurs when an object slows down.
Q4: How can I calculate force using acceleration?
β
Force is calculated using **F = ma**, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
Q5: How does mass affect acceleration?
β
Greater mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration, as per Newtonβs Second Law.
