Question

How is acceleration measured?

Answer 1

See explanation below

Explanation:

Acceleration is the variation of velocity (speed) per time unit

Speed is measured in meters/second or miles/hour or cm/year. It´s say length/time. Lets say `m/sec`

Then acceleration will be `(m/sec)/(sec)=m/sec^2`

The value (for example) of gravity acceleration y Earth's surface is `9,8 m/(sec^2)`. That means: a body in free falling each second increment his velocity 9,8 m/sec faster

Answer 2

In `m/s^2`

Said as:
(meters per second squared) or (meters per second per second)

Explanation:

We get this by dividing the difference in speed or velocity of an object by the time it takes to change its speed or velocity...

So if something went from a velocity of `5m/s` East to `10m/s` East in `10` seconds

The equation would be:
difference in velocity`/`total time taken

`=(10m/s-5m/s)/(10 s)`

=`0. 5m/s^2`

Answer 3

See below.

Explanation:

The rate of change of velocity per unit of time is called acceleration ..
Mathematically,

`=> "acceleration" = ("final velocity" - "initial velocity")/"time taken"`

or

`a = (v-u) / t`

Where

• `a =` acceleration
• `v =` final velocity
• `u =` initial velocity
• `t =` time taken

So, by using this method, the acceleration of a body can be measured.
