What unit is used to express acceleration?
"Acceleration" means "rate of change in velocity, and the direction of the change". So acceleration is (change in velocity) divided by (time for the change), plus the direction. (Any unit of speed) divided by (any unit of time) is a unit of acceleration. Some possibilities include: -- feet per second2 -- meters per second2 -- miles per hour per second -- furlongs per week per fortnight -- smoots per month per day . . etc. To complete the acceleration vector, it also needs to include a direction.
What is the si unit of acceleration due to gravity g?
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
What is a mgal?
A "mgal" is a unit of measure used in geophysics to represent the acceleration due to gravity. One milligal (mgal) is equal to one thousandth of a gal, which is a unit of acceleration measurement.
What is si unit of uniform acceleration?
The SI unit of uniform acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2). It represents the increase in velocity by one meter per second each second.
How is the unit of force derived from SI unit?
In the SI, the unit of force is defined by Newton's Second Law (force = mass x acceleration). The unit, called Newton, is the product of a mass (in kilograms) and an acceleration (in meters per square second). That is, a newton is the force required to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second square.
