What is the unit used to measure centripetal acceleration?

The same units as are used for any type of acceleration. In the SI, that would be meters/second2.


Which of the units that can be used to describe vector quantities?

Units that are used for measures in which the direction is relevant. Example are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force.


What letter symbol is used to represent current?

The letter 'I' is used to represent current. Its SI units are the ampere,(amps),(A).


What is measurement is used for acceleration?

In SI, acceleration is measured in meters / second2, or meters / second / second. In other units, units of the same dimension have to be used, i.e., [length] / [time] / [time]. For example, in the imperial units, feet per square second is quite common.


How far in meters does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 rm ms at a constant acceleration of 60g?

The answer will depend on the measurement units used for 36 (time?) and the units for acceleration.


Acceleration is a?

Yes. A can be a variable representing many things, but it most commonly (especially in grade school physics) is used to represent acceleration.


What does the a represent in physics equations?

"a" can represent (normally) acceleration.


Is there any symbol that can be used to represent all possible units of measurement?

No, there is not.


How is average velocity different from acceleration?

For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]


What is the units acceleration?

kilometers.


What units are measurements of acceleration given?

the general form of the units for acceleration are distance per time squared, such as m/s2.


What units are most commonly used to describe the surface gravity of mars?

Same units as are used to describe the surface gravity of the Earth, the moon, or any other body: Units of acceleration, such as meter/sec2 or feet/sec2 .
