Acceleration close accelerationThe rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken. is the rate of change of velocity. It ...
When a relationship between two variables is defined by a curve it means that the gradient, or rate of change, is always varying. An average speed for a journey can be found from a distance-time graph ...
In my recent post about calculating the speed of light, I mentioned Ole Roemer's calculation in 1676. The basic idea uses the orbit of one of Jupiter's moons. The orbital period is constant, but there ...
