■Acceleration

According to Newton's second law, the relationship between the force F[N] applied to an object and the acceleration of the object a[m/s2] is as follows. It is assumed that there is no friction with the road surface.

 

Another unit of acceleration is "G", which is defined as follows based on gravitational acceleration.



■Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration represents the acceleration of an object in circular motion, and when the angular velocity is w [rad/s], it is as follows. Rad (radian) is a unit of angle.
