  2. Metre per second squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_second_squared

    Its symbol is written in several forms as m/s 2, m·s −2 or ms −2, , or less commonly, as (m/s)/s. [ 1 ] As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.

  3. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    In SI, this slope or derivative is expressed in the units of meters per second per second (/, usually termed "meters per second-squared"). Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the ...

  4. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    In classical mechanics, for a body with constant mass, the (vector) acceleration of the body's center of mass is proportional to the net force vector (i.e. sum of all forces) acting on it (Newton's second law): = =, where F is the net force acting on the body, m is the mass of the body, and a is the center-of-mass acceleration.

  6. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in cm or inches of water and is equivalent to the difference in velocity head. The dynamic pressure, along with the static pressure and the pressure due to elevation, is used in Bernoulli's principle as an energy balance on a closed system.

  8. Gravitational acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_acceleration

    In Einstein's theory, masses distort spacetime in their vicinity, and other particles move in trajectories determined by the geometry of spacetime. The gravitational force is a fictitious force . There is no gravitational acceleration, in that the proper acceleration and hence four-acceleration of objects in free fall are zero.

  9. Metric dimension (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Metric_dimension_(graph_theory)

    In graph theory, the metric dimension of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a subset S of vertices such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in S. Finding the metric dimension of a graph is an NP-hard problem; the decision version, determining whether the metric dimension is less than a given ...
