Acceleration
Stacy Mann・2 minutes read
Acceleration is the change in speed and direction of an object, different from velocity. The video explains how to identify accelerating objects, distinguish between uniform and non-uniform acceleration, and measure acceleration using mathematical models.
Insights
- Acceleration is the measure of an object's change in speed and direction, distinct from velocity, and is quantified by the change in velocity per unit of time.
- The distinction between uniform and non-uniform acceleration is crucial, with uniform acceleration representing a constant change in velocity over time, while non-uniform acceleration allows for variations in speed and direction changes.
