Acceleration
Acceleration is a change of speed over a certain period of time. It can be expressed as an equation:
La aceleración es un cambio de velocidad durante un cierto período de tiempo. Se puede expresar como una ecuación:
10
a=ΔtΔv
the units for v (speed) is distance/ time such as m/s
las unidades para v (velocidad) es distancia/tiempo como m/s
the units for time is time, such as s
las unidades para el tiempo es el tiempo, como s
11
If a bicycle is going at a speed of 10 m/s, and then accelerates up to 15 m/s in 5 seconds. the change of speed is 5 m/s.
Si una bicicleta va a una velocidad de 10 m/s, y luego acelera hasta 15 m/s en 5 segundos. el cambio de velocidad es de 5 m/s.
12
a=ΔtΔv
Δv = 5m/s Δt =5s
so a=5s5ms
To find the units, you are dividing distance/time (m/s) by time (s). so the units are:
a= 1m/s/s or 1 m/ s2
