Acceleration is the rate at which what happens?
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
What happens to an object's acceleration if force increases?
The acceleration will increase, calculate new rate from: acceleration = force / mass
What happens to the rate at which falling objects accelerate over time?
The rate of acceleration is constant.
What happens to the velocity if the acceleration is constant?
the velocity increases at a constant rate
If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
What happens when the force acting on a car quadruples?
Its rate of acceleration quadruples (F=ma).
What happens to the velocity if the acceleration is zero?
The velocity stays the same, it is constant
Acceleration is the rate at which what changes?
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. (Not speed.)
Acceleration is the rate at which?
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Explaine what happens to the velocity and the acceleration of an object in fall?
Neglecting any effects of air resistance . . . -- velocity increases continuously, at a constant rate -- acceleration is constant
What is the rate of change of acceleration?
Velocity is the rate of change of position; acceleration is the rate of change of velocity; jerk is the rate of change of accelerationSee related link below for information on "Jerk"
What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes?
accelerationThe rate at which velocity changes is called "acceleration".
How does acceleration increase velocity?
Acceleration and deceleration are measures of the rate of change in velocity. The amount of acceleration is essentially the rate that velocity is increasing.
Definition of acceleration?
increase rate in speed of acceleration
What happens to the displacement velocity and acceleration of an object as it falls through the air to the ground?
Displacement: Grows with time, at an increaing rate. Velocity: Grows with time, at a constant rate. Acceleration: Greater than zero, remains constant with time.
Is acceleration defined as the rate of change of position?
No, that would be speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of speed.
What is rate of change acceleration?
the rate of change of acceleration is known as velocity FORMULA=v/t
What is the meaning of acceleration?
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. When at a steady speed, there is no rate of change of velocity and therefore acceleration is zero. When the rate of change of speed is positive, such as a car speeding up, acceleration is positive. If the rate of change of speed is negative, such as a driver applying the brakes, there is negative acceleration, or deceleration.
Is deceleration a form acceleration?
Acceleration and deceleration are both the rate at which velocity changes, Deceleration is a negative acceleration. In an equation the rate of deceleration is shown as a negative acceleration valueCentripetal acceleration is different and represents the rate of change of tangential velocity. There is no equivalent centripetal deceleration.
How is veolcity and acceleration related?
Velocity is the rate of progress, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.Hope this helps.
The rate of change of velocity is called Acceleration What is rate of change of Acceleration called?
Jerk is the term. No, really, it is.
Which of these is the rate of change in velocity momentum speed friction or acceleration?
The rate of change in velocity is called acceleration.
How do you define of acceleration?
It actually means this. Increase in the rate or speed
The rate of a change in velocity?
Rate of change of position = velocityRate of change of velocity = accelerationRate of change of acceleration = jerk, jolt, surge, or lurch
What happens to the acceleration of an object if its mass increases?
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
