How do you go from an expression for position to one for acceleration?mike32 said:
Do you mean literally ##\frac {1}{1.1}## seconds? That is a very odd way to specify the time.mike32 said:
Ok, so answer my first question.mike32 said:
Position refers to the location of an object in space, while acceleration refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity over time.
Acceleration is the second derivative of an object's position with respect to time. This means that acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, which is the rate of change of its position.
Speed is the rate of change of an object's position, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. In other words, speed tells us how fast an object is moving, while acceleration tells us how quickly its speed is changing.
Acceleration is typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). This unit represents the change in velocity (meters per second) over a certain amount of time (seconds).
An object's acceleration is affected by its mass and the net force acting on it. The greater the mass, the more force is needed to accelerate the object. Similarly, the greater the net force, the greater the acceleration will be.
