Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.
The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].
Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________
Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is [angle/time] .
Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 250 mph
v = 0 mph
t = 25 s
Find: a
v = at + v₀
(0 mph) = a (25 s) + (250 mph)
a = -10 mph/s
