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.

How is motion similar to acceleration?

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).


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

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.


How does acceleration change with time?

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.]


How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?

-- 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.


What happens to a velocity when the acceleration changes?

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.


Are velocity and acceleration related?

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant 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?

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.


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.


HOW DOES TIME CHANGE 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.]


Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant 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 a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?

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.
