S.I. Unit of Centripetal Acceleration
Centripetal Acceleration is the acceleration of a body in circular motion. The force required for circular motion is given by the following expression,
Fc = mv2/r
Comparing it with F = ma, we get centripetal acceleration (ac) as follows,
ac = v2/r
Now, SI units of centripetal acceleration (ac) would be (m/s)2/(m) or m/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.
