class UnitAcceleration

Overview

You typically use instances of UnitAcceleration to represent specific quantities of acceleration using the NSMeasurement class.

Acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration can be expressed by SI derived units in terms of meters per second squared (m/s2).

The UnitAcceleration class defines its baseUnit() as metersPerSecondSquared, and provides the following units, which are initialized using UnitConverterLinear converters with the specified coefficients:
