C.G.S. Unit of Acceleration
C.G.S. system of units stands for Centimeters (length), Grams (mass), and Seconds (time). Acceleration is rate of change of velocity with respect to time. In CGS system, unit of velocity is cm/s. Thus, unit of acceleration in CGS system would be cm/s2. Hence, we have derived the CGS unit of acceleration as follows:
- CGS unit of Velocity: cm/s
- CGS unit of Time: s
CGS unit of Acceleration = CGS unit of Velocity / CGS unit of Time
CGS unit of Acceleration = (cm/s) / s
CGS unit of Acceleration = cm/s2
Unit of Acceleration
Unit of Acceleration is meter per second square or m/s2. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of a body changes. The most commonly used units of acceleration are meters per second square (m/s2) and kilometer per hour square (km/h2).
In this article, we will learn the definition of acceleration, the unit of acceleration, units in various systems, sample problems, and frequently asked questions related to the unit of acceleration.
