The equation for centripetal acceleration is a = v2/r, where a is acceleration, v is velocity in m/s, and r is the radius of the circle in meters. So the dimension of the acceleration a = (m/s)2/m = m2/s2/m, which gives m/s/s or m/s2. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle.
No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. In other words, acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing.
Acceleration is already an increase in the rate of speed. If energy is further supplied at an increasing rate, then the acceleration may be increased. This is known as Jerk. The dimensions are m/s^3.
No. Fortunately, that equation doesn't appear anywhere in Physics. [mass] times [acceleration] has the dimensions [mass] x [length/time2], and that's exactly [force] which makes everything beautiful.
It should be noted that an acceleration is not a velocity. Velocity is defined as distance per unit rate; thus, it has dimensions of length/time. Acceleration is defined as change of velocity per unit rate; thus, its dimensions are velocity / time, i.e., (length/time) / time.
No, only weight is affected by gravity: attraction, force, acceleration.
7000 is a pure number, without dimensions. It cannot be compared or converted to any form of acceleration which has dimensions [LT-2].
They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.
we cant convert acceleration in to time since both have different dimensions.
[ force ] = [ mass ] [ acceleration ] = [ mass ] [ length/time2 ] = [ mass-length-time-2 ]
Yes. It's a fine acceleration value, with proper units and dimensions. It's roughly 31% of the acceleration of gravity on earth.

dimensional consistency says that in any equation the dimensions of the quantities in the rhs and lhs are same. for example force =mass*acceleration force dimensions are MLT-2 : mass dimension M ;acceleration dimension LT-2 togehter the right hand side is also having MLT-2 dimension same as that of force.

Acceleration due to gravity is expressed in the same units as any other acceleration ... Meters per second per second = m/s2 Also feet per second per second = ft/sec2 Any unit with dimensions of (length)/(time)2 is a valid unit of acceleration, such as (furlongs)/(fortnight)2
