Best Answer

In Simple motion, there is no force being applied. The moving object moves in a straight line with constant velocity. In acceleration, there is a force applied. The object's velocity is changing. The first derivative of acceleration is velocity. The first derivative of velocity is distance. (Derivative is a calculus thing.)

Acceleration implies a change of velocity. Motion can be any velocity - accelerated or not.

What is the different between motion and acceleration?

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


What is net acceleration in a non uniform motion?

For uniform motion, the acceleration is zero. For non-uniform motion, the acceleration is something different than zero - at least, most of the time.

How is motion and acceleration alike And how are they different?

Motion is the measurement of an object and the change of its position over time. Acceleration is the measurement of velocity of an object. Both terms are used in physics. Acceleration denotes an increase of speed of an object while motion does not.


How is velocity of zero different from an accerlation at zero?

Acceleration is changing velocity. Zero velocity means no motion. Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.


How are acceleration and velocity alike and different from each other?

-- both are related to measurements of motion of objects -- acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes


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.


What is centripital acceleration?

acceleration in a circular motion :)


What is uniform accelerating?

Uniform acceleration motion is a type of motion where the acceleration value is constant.


True or false acceleration is a change in motion?

'Acceleration' is a change in the speed and/or direction of motion.


What is the definition of motion graph?

Constant acceleration motion can be characterized by motion equations and by motion graphs. The graphs of distance, velocity and acceleration as functions.


Is acceleration uniform in uniformly circular motion?

yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion
