The relationship between acceleration, velocity change and the time taken for the change is given by this formula. \(\text{acceleration}=\frac{\text{change in ...

Have you ever noticed athletes accelerating during the 100 meter run? The more they accelerate, the more they lean forward. Why? Let's do a simple analysis. Suppose the runner can be modeled as a ...

Introduction Have you ever played a video game with a controller that used motion controls? Do you ever wonder how sometimes a smartphone seems to "know" if you're moving? How do these electronic ...
