Mastering Acceleration: Definition, Units, and Calculations

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics concept of acceleration. It begins by grounding the abstract concept in physical sensation—explaining that acceleration is the motion you can actually feel, unlike constant velocity. The host guides viewers through the formal definition of acceleration as a vector quantity representing the rate of change in velocity, using clear visuals and real-world examples like motorcycles, top fuel dragsters, and space shuttles to illustrate these changes in speed and direction.
