Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Acceleration like most variables in science is a quaternion, consisting of a real part and a vector part, a=ar + av.Unfortunately, our education system has not caught up to this fact and most students don't get to study vectors and hardly any get to study quaternions. An example of the real and vector acceleration is given in Gravity.
The gravitational energy is E=-GmM/r + mcV= -mu/r + mcV, the force of gravity is
F=(mv^2/r - mcv/r cos(x)) + (dmcV/cdt + Del x mcV - Del mu/r).
The acceleration is:
a= f/m= (v^2/r -cv/r cos(x)) + (dV/dt + cv/r sin(x)T' + v^2/r R/r)
The first parenthesis gives the real part of acceleration and the second parenthesis gives the vector part of acceleration. V^2/r is the centripetal acceleration and -cv/r cos(x) is the centrifugal acceleration.
What else can I help you with?
A change in speed or direction?
A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.
What is a change in speed or direction?
Acceleration
What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?
Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).
What is the meaning of acceleration?
of Accelerate
3 ways to accelerate?
To change the acceleration of a car: speed up, slow down or turn. Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is "how fast" and in "what direction". To speed up is to accelerate (increase the velocity). To slow down is to deaccelerate (decrease the velocity) To turn is also a form of acceleration (changes the direction of the velocity).
How is acceleration related to the change in speed?
A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
How does a change in speed affect acceleration?
Acceleration is directly proportional to the change in speed. If the speed increases, acceleration is positive. If the speed decreases, acceleration is negative. The magnitude of acceleration is determined by the rate at which the speed changes.
How do you calculate time with speed and acceleration?
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
The relationship of speed and acceleration?
Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed. Acceleration = speed/time.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
What is the different between motion and acceleration?
Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.
How is increasing speed acceleration?
By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
How do you find the acceleration?
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
Why does acceleration change when speed does not?
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so if speed is constant, acceleration is zero. However, if speed is constant but direction is changing (e.g. moving in a circle at constant speed), the velocity is changing, and thus there is still acceleration.
Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
What does acceleration measure?
Acceleration measures the change in speed
Can there be acceleration in the body even when the body is not speeding up or slowing down?
Yes. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is either change in speed or change in direction. If you fix the speed, change in direction can account for change in velocity, i.e. acceleration.
