Acceleration is a vector physical quantity (as shows the change in size, and change direction). Czech equivalent of the word acceleration.

Acceleration (or the acceleration) is characterized by body movement, tells us how to change its velocity over time. The usual designation letter and acceleration are used.

The basic unit of acceleration is the meter / second second In motorsports, often meet with the conversion of basic units of the size of gravity in the literature called the letter g. Especially in Formula 1, you can hear that the pilot acted overload 5g. Which in practice means that the pilot acted acceleration 5 × 9.81 [m / s 2]. In layman's terms, at that moment the pilot had the feeling that weighs 5 times more.

What you did not know

What is the opposite of acceleration?
The opposite of acceleration (acceleration) is the deceleration (deceleration). Thus, movement, in which body loses its constant speed, slowing down.

Which car is faster, if a = 1 gram?
When 1 g acceleration of a car would need a car to reach 100 km / h (27.7 m / s) over 2.84 seconds, we consider the constant acceleration.
