Best Answer

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).

Uniform acceleration motion is a type of motion where the acceleration value is constant.


True or false acceleration is a change in motion?

'Acceleration' is a change in the speed and/or direction of motion.


What is the definition of motion graph?

Constant acceleration motion can be characterized by motion equations and by motion graphs. The graphs of distance, velocity and acceleration as functions.


What is the different between motion and acceleration?

Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.


Is acceleration uniform in uniformly circular motion?

yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion


What is the net acceleration in a non uniform motion?

For uniform motion, the acceleration is zero. For non-uniform motion, the acceleration is something different than zero - at least, most of the time.


What is net acceleration in a non uniform motion?

For uniform motion, the acceleration is zero. For non-uniform motion, the acceleration is something different than zero - at least, most of the time.


Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?

Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.


How do unbalanced forces acting on an object its motion?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
