Best Answer

Acceleration is speed with a time, ex. 15 mph/hour, 150 km/sec/sec.

What is the different between motion and acceleration?

Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.


How is a graph showing speed different from a graph showing acceleration?

Acceleration is how fast you get up to speed.


What is does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?

It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.


How are velocity and acceleration different?

acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.


What is the different between velocity and acceleration?

Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.


How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?

A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.


What is definition for speed and acceleration formulas?

There are different types of speed formulas: Speed= Wavelength(frequency) or Speed= Distance/Time


The relationship of speed and acceleration?

Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed. Acceleration = speed/time.


How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?

There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.


Is acceleration the same as speed?

Acceleration is the rate that speed changes.


How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?

Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.


For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?

constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
