If the vessel in the sample problem accelerates for 1.00 what will it’s speed be after that minute

answer:

in physics terms, acceleration is the amount by which your velocity changes in a given amount of time. in terms of equations, it works like this:

given initial and final velocities, velocities final and final velocities , and initial and final times over which your speed changed,   you can also write the equation like this:

to get the units of acceleration, you divide velocity by time as follows:

displacement over time squared? don’t let that throw you. you end up with time squared in the denominator just because it’s velocity divided by time — that’s something you get used to when solving physics problems. in other words, acceleration is the rate at which your velocity or speed changes because rates have time in the denominator.

so for acceleration, you can expect to see units of meters per second, or centimeters per second, or miles per second, or feet per second, or even kilometers per hour. remember that meters per second really just means meters per second per second. you can also have units of acceleration such as miles per hour per second or kilometers per hour per minute.
