Today, Gigabytes and Terabytes are the most common terms being used to describe the size of a hard drive. But what are they? This is where it gets quite confusing because there are at least three accepted definitions of each term.
A force acting on an object can cause it to accelerate. The relationship between force, mass and acceleration is given by the equation. force = mass Ã acceleration. The stopping distance of a car depends on two factors-thinking distance and braking distance. Under normal driving conditions, the thinking and braking distance depend on the speed of the car.
Now, plug net force into the equation with mass to calculate for acceleration. A Newton of force equals 1 kg * m/sec^2. 1 N = 1 kg * m/sec^2. If we substitute this value of a Newton into the equation, mass (kg) is cancelled out, and that leaves us with the units m/sec^2. Those are the units for acceleration.
