Does amount of acceleration depend on both the change in velocity and the time interval of the change?

Definitely.
A car that does zero to 60 in 6 seconds will jam you back into the seat a lot harder
than a car that does zero to 60 in a half hour.
Average acceleration is (change in speed) divided by (time to make the change).
You can see that the change in speed and the time interval of the change are equally important.

Is Acceleration is the magnitude of average velocity?
No. Acceleration is (change of velocity) divided by (time interval in which it changed). If velocity doesn't change, then there is no 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!
What is the change in velocity per unit time?
Acceleration.
What does velocity divided by the time interval equal?
It equals an undefined entity. The average acceleration of an object equals the CHANGE in velocity divided by the time interval. The term "change in velocity" is not the same as the term "velocity", "average velocity", or "instantaneous velocity".
When calculating acceleration to find the change in velocity you subtract the what velocity from the final velocity?
You subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide by the time interval.
Velocity divided by the time interval equals?
Change in velocity divided by time is acceleration, but velocity divided by time has no particular significance.
What are three components needed to find an object acceleration?
Using the definition of acceleration as change of speed / time, you basically need to know: * A time interval during which the object accelerates. * The velocity at the beginning of this time interval. * The velocity at the end of this time interval.
The velocity of a body was noted to be constant during five minutes of its motion What was its acceleration during this interval?
Acceleration means speeding up or slowing down, a change in velocity. Since the velocity was constant, the acceleration was. 0
If a car increases its velocity from zero to 60 kilometer in 10 s its acceleration is?
You use the equation: acceleration=change in velocity/time interval a = 60 / 10 a = 6
What is a change in velocity in a certain amount of time called?
Acceleration is any change in velocity during a length of time.
Does velocity equal acceleration x time?
Yes, sort of. At least, that's the units used. The actual definition of acceleration is: a = dv/dt In other words, the rate at which velocity changes. In the case of constant acceleration, that would be equal to a change in velocity, divided by the time interval during which this change takes place. In the case of non-constant acceleration, the acceleration, or rate of change of velocity, can of course change from one moment to another.
What is non-uniform acceleration in physics?
type of motion in which the velocity of an object change in different interval of time
