It doesn't "affect" it. Acceleration is DEFINED as (delta v) / (delta t), or change in velocity divided by the time elapsed; so whenever you have a delta-v, you'll have an acceleration (the amount of which also depends on the time elapsed).

Acceleration is equal to final velocity minus initial velocity over time. So, it will affect the outcome of the equation depending on what the initial velocity is.

Because that is how acceleration is defined!

Can you have a zero acceleration but non zero velocity explain it with help of a graph?

Yes, you can. Zero acceleration simply means there is no CHANGE in velocity. It doesn't mean there is no velocity.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.


What is the change in velocity over time?

acceleration a----->velocity=acceleration x time: v=a x t


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.


When a cars velocity is uniform what it is acceleration?

Acceleration is change of velocity divided by time; so if the velocity doesn't change, acceleration is zero.


Measures the changes in velocity?

A change in velocity is acceleration, so a accelerometer


What is the difference between volicity and accleration?

Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).


Does velocity differ from acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


What is the equation for change in acceleration?

accelaration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Therefore the formula for acceleration is a =(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) divide by the (change in time)


Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?

Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).


How did changing the mass of the marble change velocity and acceleration values?

From the equation F=ma, fixing F (force) as a constant, changing m(mass) effects directly to a(acceleration). Increasing mass, acceleration drops, decreasing mass, acceleration increases. Acceleration= change in velocity/ time.
