About Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity with magnitude and direction. In physics, acceleration is commonly measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Common Acceleration Reference Values
| Description | Approximate Value |
|---|---|
| Standard gravity (g) | 9.80665 m/s² or 32.1740 ft/s² |
| Typical car 0-60 mph | 3-4 m/s² |
| High-performance sports car | 7-10 m/s² |
| F1 race car acceleration | ~15 m/s² |
| F1 race car braking | ~-45 m/s² |
| Space shuttle during launch | ~29 m/s² (3g) |
| Fighter jet maximum | ~98 m/s² (10g) |
Note: The standard gravity (g) is often used as a unit of acceleration, especially when describing acceleration tolerance in human physiology or vehicle performance.
