Can you please help me with instructing the difference between average and constant acceleration , and what is the most general that concludes the another ?
Average acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over a certain period of time. It is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time.
Average acceleration is the overall change in velocity over a period of time, while constant acceleration refers to a situation where the velocity of an object changes by the same amount in each unit of time.
Some examples of constant acceleration include a car traveling at a constant speed on a straight road, a ball falling under the influence of gravity, and a rocket taking off into space.
Acceleration is directly proportional to the change in velocity and inversely proportional to the change in time. This means that the greater the change in velocity and the shorter the time interval, the greater the acceleration.
The standard units of measurement for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s^2) in the metric system, and feet per second squared (ft/s^2) in the imperial system.
