Acceleration is the RATE OF CHANGE of velocity. That means that acceleration and velocity have different units.The only similarity is that both are defined as rates of change.
If we replace "motion" with a similar term called "velocity", both are rates of change:* Velocity is the rate of change of position (the derivative of the position, with respect to time). * Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity (that makes it the second derivative of the position, with respect to time).
No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.
acceleration is velocity divided by time.so increasing or decreasing the velocity would change the time....(velocity=speed)A2. But there is a name for the change of acceleration, it is Jerk. (as in a stockwhip for example) [This property has some other similar names, but i was trained in the US system of physics.]
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
If the acceleration changes, the velocity of an object will also change. If the acceleration increases, the velocity will increase. If the acceleration decreases, the velocity will decrease. The velocity and acceleration of an object are directly related.
Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
When traveling at a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and if velocity is not changing, there is no acceleration.
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.

When a body has constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, so if velocity is constant, there is no change and hence no acceleration.
