Yes, plus the direction that it's changing in.

How fast velocity is changing at a specific instant?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
Is how fast velocity is changing at a specific instant?
That's the magnitude of instantaneous acceleration.
When an object and acceleration is zero at some instant t in time its velocity is?
You can't derive the velocity from the acceleration. Zero acceleration simply means that the velocity (at that instant) is not changing.
The measure of how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant is known as?
The rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration. This can come in different forms (linear / nonlinear acceleration, angular acceleration ect).
The rate at which velocity is changing at a given instant is described by?
The answer is: Instantaneous Acceleration.
What is how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant?
IF it changes to the completely opposite direction ... does a 180 or a "U-turn" ...then the velocity must be zero at that instant. But if the direction only changesby turning a corner or going around a bend, then there's no way to know whatthe velocity is without a lot more information.
Is Average velocity the slope of the line tangent to the curve on a velocity time graph at a specific instant of time?
No, it is instantaneous acceleration.
What's the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration?
Instantaneous velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a uniform direction, distance per unit time, at any given instant in time. instantaneous acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity is changing at any given instant in time
What is instantaneous acceleration?
a=dv/dt=d/dt(dx/dt)=d^2x/dt^2Is the rate of a tangent to the slope of a graph signifying velocity versus time. It is a snapshot of acceleration at a precise moment in time based on the relative changes in velocity over time. It is the limit of acceleration for any given point within the displacement vector.Instantaneous acceleration is how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant.
What is meant by centripetal acceleration is perpendicular to velocity?
As an object goes round in a circular path, then its velocity will along the tangent at that instant. But centripetal acceleration is normal to that tangent and so along the radius of curvature. As acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity, the direction aspect is ever changing and so the object goes round the circular path.
Is it possible that acceleration at an instant does not depends upon its velocity at that instant?
Acceleration never depends on the instantaneous velocity.Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing, and the direction of the change.A car leaving a STOP sign at a neighborhood intersection, and the Space Shuttle in theprocess of a delicate orbital maneuver to link up with the International Space Station,could very well have the same acceleration.
Find average acceleration and instanious acceleration?
average acceleration is the average of the acceleration of a body in its entire motion where as instantaneous acceleration is the rate of change of velocity at an instant. it may be a function of time or velocity or displacement.
