Rule:
Magnitude of acceleration = Change of velocity / Time interval
In linear motion, magnitude of acceleration is the measurement of change in speed in speed per unit time. For example: A car reaches a speed of 20 miles per second in 4 seconds, the magnitude of acceleration is 5 miles per second.
a = 20 miles/second divided by 4 seconds = 5 miles per second.
Acceleration is a vector, which means it has magnitude and direction. To describe accelerated motion completely, the direction also needs to be included. So it would be 5 miles per second in whatever direction it is going.

What is magnitude of acceleration?
magnitude of acceleration=change of velocity/time invertal
Rate of change of speed?
magnitude of acceleration
When radius and height and distance is given how to find magnitude of centripetal acceleration?
There is no information that shows any relationship with time. Since acceleration is a variable related to time, it is impossible to answer the question.
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
What does slope of velocity-time graph represent?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
What is magnitude of acceleration?
magnitude of acceleration=change of velocity/time invertal
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.
Is acceleration a quantity of vector?
yes, Acceleration is vector quatity!!. Its has both magnitude and direction
What is centripetal acceleration and find its magnitude and direction in the case of uniform circular motion?
The centripetal acceleration is v2/r, directed toward the center of the circle..
What is the minimum magnitude of acceleration?
Zero is.
Which acceleration has larger magnitude?
gravity
How to find acceleration?
Acceleration has two parts ... its size and its direction.To find the size (magnitude):-- pick a time interval-- measure the speed at the beginning of the interval-- measure the speed at the end of the interval-- subtract the speed at the beginning from the speed at the end-- divide that difference by the length of the time interval-- the result is the magnitude of acceleration during that time interval
What is acceleration since it has magnitude and direction?
Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
What name is given to the rate at which velocity changes?
That's the magnitude of its acceleration.
What is An increase in the magnitude in velocity?
It is called acceleration.
How fast velocity changes?
magnitude of acceleration
What are the 2 components of acceleration?
magnitude and direction
