There are 5 lessons in this physics tutorial covering The Meaning of Acceleration. You have reach the end of Physics lesson 3.7.2 The meaning of Acceleration. Therefore, acceleration is a vector quantity as well, as it is obtained by dividing a vector (the change in velocity) by a scalar (the time interval). Unit of acceleration = Īs discussed in the previous tutorials " Speed and Velocity in One Dimension" and " Speed and Velocity in Two and Three Dimensions", velocity is a vector quantity because it involves direction. The term "Rate" means "something changing with time." Therefore, if the change in velocity ∆v ⃗ = v ⃗ 2 - v ⃗ 1 occurs during a time interval ∆t, we obtain the formula of acceleration a ⃗: "Acceleration is the rate of velocity change per unit of time." "an increase in distance travelled at equal time intervals" or more precisely, "an increase in velocity at equal time intervals."įrom the above discussion, we can formulate the definition of Acceleration as one of the basic Kinematic quantities: Therefore, we say "the ball is speeding up." In scientific terms, we say "the ball is accelerating." Thus, it is obvious "speeding up" and "accelerating" are similar terms that express the same physical process, i.e. It is obvious the ball is not moving at the same (constant) velocity as the distance between two consecutive positions of the ball increases while shifting due right. The ball is photographed in equal time intervals during its motion and its positions at each instant are shown above. Now, let's use the help of motion maps to analyse situations involving objects that are not moving at the same velocity (and speed).
