  2. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period. A frequently cited example of uniform acceleration is that of an object in free fall in a uniform gravitational field.

    The formula for the acceleration A P can now be obtained as: = ˙ + + (), or = / + / +, where α is the angular acceleration vector obtained from the derivative of the angular velocity vector; / =, is the relative position vector (the position of P relative to the origin O of the moving frame M); and = ¨ is the acceleration of the origin of ...

    The concept of acceleration is a covariant derivative concept. In other words, in order to define acceleration an additional structure on M {\displaystyle M} must be given. Using abstract index notation , the acceleration of a given curve with unit tangent vector ξ a {\displaystyle \xi ^{a}} is given by ξ b ∇ b ξ a {\displaystyle \xi ^{b ...

  8. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    Acceleration is the second derivative of displacement i.e. acceleration can be found by differentiating position with respect to time twice or differentiating velocity with respect to time once. [10] The SI unit of acceleration is m ⋅ s − 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {m\cdot s^{-2}} } or metre per second squared .
