Key Terminology
-
Decimeter per square second (dm/s²)
-
A unit of acceleration representing a change in velocity of one decimeter per second every second; equal to 0.1 meter per second squared.
-
Micrometer per square second (µm/s²)
-
A unit of acceleration equal to a change in velocity of one micrometer per second each second; used for very small accelerations in micro-scale engineering.
