What Is Acceleration? Accelerometers, IEPE, Charge and MEMS
Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time. Mathematically, it is the derivative of the velocity vector with respect to time, expressed as a = dv/dt. Acceleration is the net result of all forces acting on an object. In measurement practice, acceleration is usually considered in two main ways. The first is acceleration caused by vibration of the test object. The second is acceleration caused by changes in motion, such as the acceleration, braking, or cornering of a vehicle or aircraft.
