Question

Imagine you had to teach someone

what an acceleration of
a = +³m
s²
How would describe how this specific
acceleration affects a car that is
initially not moving?

Answer 1

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.
