Linear acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time in a straight line. It is the increase or decrease in an object's speed as it moves in a straight line. Linear acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2).
Linear acceleration is used in a variety of real-life applications, including:
Transportation: Linear acceleration is used to measure the speed and acceleration of cars, trains, airplanes, and other vehicles.
Athletics: Linear acceleration is used to measure the speed and acceleration of athletes, such as sprinters and jumpers.
Physics: Linear acceleration is used in physics to describe the motion of objects in a straight line.
Robotics: Linear acceleration is used in robotics to control the motion of robots in a straight line, such as in factory automation.
Space exploration: Linear acceleration is used in space exploration to describe the motion of spacecraft in a straight line.
