What is the difference between speed and acceleration?

Speed is the measurement of how fast your locationis changing. It is the scalar value of velocity, which is speed in a given direction. Velocity can change without a change in speed.Acceleration is the measurement of how fast your speed is changing. However, since acceleration is more precisely a change in velocity, you could experience acceleration without a change in speed, if your direction of motion changes. The occupants of a car traveling at constant speed around a curve will experience acceleration toward one side of the car.Speed is simply how fast a person is going at a particular instant in time. As long as you keep going at the same speed and in the same direction, then you have no acceleration. Conversely, acceleration can be defined as the process of changing speed. So, just as having zero speed means that one's position, or distance, does not change, so having zero acceleration means one speed does not change.The word speed refers to how fast one is moving but does not involve the concept of which direction one is moving. However, acceleration can be achieved by changing the direction of motion as well as by changing the rate of motion. The concept required is the idea of a vector, which is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. In an extreme case, moving in a circle at a constant speed does nothing to change speed, but does change the direction of motion, and so is a case where there is acceleration.


How fast can a high tide go?

fast!


How fast is the lava of the volcano?

Depends on the type of volcano. Violent go's slow, and weak go's fast.


Could you give an example about 'an instance where you see more mass causes less acceleration when there is a constant force?

A baseball player can throw a baseball 90 m.p.h. What if you asked him to throw a bowling ball? It doesn't go nearly as fast or as far. The acceleration is much less, not because the baseball player is suddenly applying less force, but because the object he is applying the force to has much greater mass.

Harry says acceleration is how fast you go carol says acceleration is how fast you get fast who's correct?

Carol is the most correct, I guess. Acceleration is a change in speed over a change in time, so if you want to be REALLY vague and confusing, you could say it's "how fast you get fast". In any case, Harry is wrong because he is describing speed. So by that logic, Carol has to be correct, even though it's expressed quite poorly.


What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 60 mph?

At a constant speed there is no acceleration. Acceleration describes a positive change in speed meaning to go faster. Deacceleration describes how fast something is slowing down. But at a constant speed of 60mph there is acceleration or deacceleration.

Motorcycles are quite fast things. They have very quick acceleration, and they can go as fast as up to over two hundred miles per hour.Ê

Why is acceleration?

Acceleration means how fast velocity changes. "How fast" means change of velocity per time unit - and this is also called a "rate".Acceleration means how fast velocity changes.
