What is Acceleration?​
earnstyle [38]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

 

To define acceleration, We need to know more about motion.

Motion: This can be defined as the change in position of a body from one point to another. When an object accelerates, it undergoes motion.

<u>Definition</u>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is meter-per-squared seconds. (m/s²)

The formula of acceleration is

  • a = (v-u)/t................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • a = acceleration
  • u = initial velocity
  • v = final velocity
  • t = time

Hence, Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

What do electric and magnetic fields have in common?
Nastasia [14]

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

Magnetic field are a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. Everything is made up of atoms, and each atom has a nucleus made of neutrons and protons with electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Since the orbiting electrons are tiny moving charges, a small magnetic field is created around each atom.

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like pole repel unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge.
