Average Acceleration can be verbally defined as the change in velocity in a certain change in time...

More simply put:

Average Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Final Time - Initial Time)

How is a change in motion described?

In linear or axial motion, a change in speed, a deceleration or an acceleration.


What is the difference between uniform linear motion an uniform circular motion?

linear is which is on a straight path and circular motion is which has a curved path. *In a uniform linear motion,the velocity is constant and the acceleration is zero.So,uniform linear motion is an unaccelerated motion. *In uniform circular motion the velocity can be variable although the speed is uniform.So,it is an accelerated motion.


What is the word you use to give speed and direction of motion acceleration?

(linear) momentum .


What are Example of acceleration which is against direction of motion?

deceleration in a linear motion (braking during driving or an object thrown up while you are standing on on earth) --> the acceleration is pointing at an opposite direction than the motion. ============================


What is the difference between linear and translatory motion?

Linear motion is a motion along a straight line, and be described mathematically using one spatial dimension. Its motion can be either constant motion or zero acceleration. Translation motion is a movement that changes position of an object


Is there is any linear or Circular motion equation or just the motion in which acceleration of body changes at constant velocity?

The question is, if not a maelstrom, certainly a melange at least.Especially noteworthy is the part where "acceleration of a body changesat constant velocity".Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then there isno acceleration. If velocity changes at a constant rate, then acceleration is constant.Velocity would have to change at a rate that changes, in order to have a changingacceleration.Now, what is it you're looking for ? A "linear or circular motion equation" ? There areoodles of them, describing the relationship among the position, displacement, speed,velocity, and acceleration, in one, two, or three dimensions, in rectangular, polar, andspherical coordinates, for linear motion, and an entire separate set of equations forcircular motion.


Can the average speed ever equal the instantaneous speed?

When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.


Uniform linear motion vs uniform circular motion?

Linear motion goes in a straight line (apply laws of physics: a body in motion will stay in motion unless otherwise impeded, most often by some type of friction or another body). Circular motion (or non-linear motion) involves revolutions and creates centrifigal force (measured in G's if you're in the air force)


What detects linear acceleration in the ear?

The utricle and macula are a part of the vestibular. Macula responds to linear acceleration and deceleration. So the vestibular detects linear acceleration.


What is a linear motion for science?

I believe linear motion is simply straight motion because linear means straight


Is average acceleration equal to instantaneous acceleration for a uniformly accelerated car?

Average acceleration will be equal to instantaneous acceleration when an object has an uniform acceleration throughout its motion. Example : A car accelerating at 1m/s2 uniformly in a straight line.


When an object slows down it's accelerate is?

When an object slows down, its acceleration is negative (in a linear sense), or in a direction opposed to its motion (in a vector sense).
