Key Terminology
-
Micrometer per square second (µm/s²)
-
A unit of acceleration representing one micrometer change in velocity per second each second, used for very small accelerations.
-
Meter per square second (m/s²)
-
The SI derived unit of acceleration measuring the velocity change of one meter per second every second.
