Rate of Change in Velocity

on . Posted in Classical Mechanics

The rate of change in velocity, abbreviated as \(v_c\), is the first derivative of velocity, the second derivative of position or the instantaneous change in velocity.  In physics, it is known as acceleration. 

 

Rate of Change in Velocity formula

\( v_c = s\;/\;t \)     (Rate of Change in Velocity)

\( s =  v_c  \;  t  \)

\( t = s\;/\;v_c \)

Symbol English Metric
\( v_c \) = Velocity Rate of Change \(ft\;/\;sec^2\)  \(m\;/\;s^2\) 
\( s \) = Displacement \( ft \) \( m \)
\( t \) = Velocity Change Time \( sec \) \( s \)
