Acceleration is measured in terms of distance per time per time. A typical unit would be meters per second squared. If an object is moving, its speed can be measured in terms of the amount of distance it covers in a given unit of time. And if it is accelerating, that acceleration is the amount of change in speed that takes place in a given unit of time.

The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
What are the units of of measure for velocity and acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. In other words, it is velocity divided by time. As velocity (in SI) is expressed in metres per second, acceleration must be measured in 'metres per second per second'. In fact, this is the correct way of 'saying' the unit of measurement for acceleration, NOT 'metre per second squared'. The symbol for metres per second per second is 'm/s/s' which, of course, is exactly the same as m/s2 (where 2 is a superscript).
How would you calculate acceleration?
First of all please spell 'calculating' correctly, NOT 'caculating'. Equation for acceleration. Acceleration = ( change in velocity) divided by time. This can be further expressed as acceleration = ( final velocity - initial velocity) / time Algebraically this can be written as a = (v - u) / t The metric units are a(m/s^2) = (v(m/s) - u(m/s) / t(s)
What is the definition of final velocity?
Final velocity is the your last velocity traveled. Example if you travel 50m/s your final velocity is 50m/s because its the last velocity traveled, 0m/s is the initial velocity. Its not your total velocity because if u start running at 5m/s then accelerated 25m/s, your final velocity is NOT 30m/s. It is 25m/s. Also, your velocity change is 20m/s(25-5).
What is the relation of velocity to health and science?
Velocity is related to health in the sense that high velocity collisions are more damaging than low velocity collisions. Velocity is related to science in the sense that Newtonian mechanics deals with velocity.
What is velocity expressed in?
velocity is expressed in m/s
Expressed as the distance divided by time?
Speed or velocity can be expressed as the distance divided by time.
What are speed and direction of motion expressed as?
velocity vector
Velocity may be expressed in what?
Velocity is defined as change in positin per time. It is usually expressed in m/s , Km/s . miles per second etc.,
What is planetary velocity?
Orbital velocity is the average velocity (or speed) of a planet as it orbits around the sun. It is usually expressed as km/s or mph.
Which is expressed as measurement of distance moved during a period of time?
Velocity
How can velocity be expressed in units?
metres per second ms-1
What is a synonym for velocity?
There is no synonym to velocity. there is no directionality in velocity. speed is a measure of rotation around a center expressed in revolutions per unit of time. Velocity is a measure of distance in units of time with no direction. Vectors indicate direction.
In cases of uniformly accelerated motion how may the final velocity be expressed in terms of initial velocity and acceleration and elapsed time?
Vf = Vi + a t
If you increase the velocity of an object the momentum of that object will?
The momentum is expressed as: p = mv, so assuming the velocity increases, the momentum of the body will increase too.
What is molecular velocity in chem?
Molecular velocity is defined as the velocity of a each molecule in a certain sample of gas. It can be expressed by means of root-mean-square velocity, average velocity and most probable velocity.
Which units can velocity be expressed?
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
