what does "what is the magnitude of the accelaration" means?
thank you
thank you
The magnitude of acceleration is the measurement of the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (size) and direction.
Magnitude of acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time. This can be expressed as a = Δv/Δt, where a is the acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the change in time.
The main difference between magnitude of acceleration and acceleration is that acceleration is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction, while magnitude of acceleration only refers to the size or numerical value of acceleration.
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the magnitude of acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass. This can be expressed as a = F/m, where a is the magnitude of acceleration, F is the net force, and m is the mass of the object.
Yes, magnitude of acceleration can be negative. This indicates a decrease in velocity, or a deceleration. Negative acceleration can also be referred to as retardation or deceleration.
