That would be the magnitude of the average acceleration during that period of time.

Measurement of the change in the velocity of an object divided by the time it takes for this change to occur is?
Acceleration.
Is the change of an objects velocity divided by the amount of time required for change to occur?
That is called acceleration.
The change of the velocity of an object divided by the time for the change to occur?
That's a pretty good definition of the object's "acceleration".
What is the change in velocity divided by the time interval in which the change occured?
It is acceleration. The difference between final velocity and initial velocity, divided by the time is the AVERAGE acceleration. Remember, though that velocity is a vector. So if you are going round in a circle at a constant speed, your direction of motion is changing continuously and so you are always accelerating!
Acceleration occur when velocity changes?
Only the acceleration brings a change in velocity.
What is the scientific meaning of the word acceleration?
Change in velocity divided by the amount of time needed for the change to occur;takes place when an object speeds up,slows down,or changes direction
How does refraction occur in water?
It is because of the change in velocity of light in two different media.
Which is greater an acceleration from 25kmh to 30kmh or an acceleration from 96kmh to 100kmh if both occur at the same time?
The acceleration from 25kmh to 30kmh is greater. Acceleration is the rate change in velocity with respect to time (dv/dt). Going from an initial velocity at one point in time to a final velocity at a later point in time, the average acceleration is given by (vf - vi)/(tf -ti), the change in velocity divided by the duration of acceleration. Since going from 25kmh to 30kmh is a change in velocity of 5kmh and going from 96kmh to 100kmh is a change in velocity of 4kmh, and the duration of each is the same, 25 to 30 is the greater acceleration.
What is the change in velocity other than speed what else?
change in velocity can also occur with change in direction as it is a vector with speed and direction; so a satellite may have constant speed but remaining in orbit has a centripetal acceleration; its direction is changing.
When does the velocity of an object change?
When its speed changes, when it turns changing its direction of travel or when both occur.
Why does change in velocity happen?
When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration". A force is necessary to cause it.
How do you find vertical acceleration?
You measure the height at the bottom, measure the height at the top, and subtract the smaller number from the larger one.
