Acceleration is expressed in meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2. This unit does not have a special name. On the other hand, in theory any combination of units of type (distance)/(time)/(time) or (speed)/(time) can be used, for example feet/second2, kilometers/hour/second, knots/second, etc. (Note that "knot" is a unit of speed, so dividing it by a time gives you an acceleration.)

What is the acceleration of mass?

force acting on unit mass of body is the acceleration of that body.


Is this correct a unit called a newton is used to measure pulls and pushes?

Yes. A Newton is a unit that measures acceleration.


What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?

Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.


What is the full form of IMU?

The full form of IMU is Inertial Measurement Unit. It is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force (acceleration) and angular rate.


NASA acceleration unit?

NASA typically uses the acceleration unit of meters per second squared (m/s^2) when conducting calculations for spacecraft and other vehicles in space. This unit measures how the velocity of an object changes over time due to acceleration.


Can a body be in motion but 0 acceleration?

Yes, a body can be in motion but have zero acceleration if it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, so if velocity is constant, acceleration is zero even though the body is in motion.


What is the quantitative to describe motion?

Speed, velocity, and acceleration are common quantitative measures used to describe motion. Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, velocity specifies both speed and direction, and acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity.


What unit measures vibration?

Vibration has amplitude and frequency, usually defined by acceleration and cycles per second (Hertz). It is measured with an accelerometer.


What does acceleration measure?

Acceleration measures the change in speed


What is the unit of force according to acceleration?

The unit of force according to acceleration is the Newton (N). This is because force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, and the SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg) and the SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2).


How does acceleration relate to velocity and time?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. It measures how much velocity changes per unit of time. So, when an object accelerates, its velocity increases or decreases depending on the direction of the acceleration.


What is acceleration body?

Acceleration of a body is the rate at which the velocity of the body changes over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how much the velocity changes) and direction (the direction in which the velocity is changing). The standard unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2).
