No, the distance an object travels in unit time is called speed.
The distance travelled per unit time in a specified direction is called velocity.
The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.

∙ 15y agorate of acceleration is a derivitive of velocity which is distance per second -------------------------------------- Moments of motion: Expressed in units of distance per unit of time: 1. Distance divided by time = rate, 60 miles divided by 1 hour = 6o mph, 2. Rate multiplied by time = distance, 60mph in 1 hour = 60miles, 3. Rate divided by time = time taken, or required. 60mph divided by 2 hours = 30 minutes. 4. Average rates, when moment is not constant: Distance 130miles, in 2 hours requires an average rate of 60mph, By moments of motion 4. The average rate and time, would be half that of the rate accelerated to, taking half the time, and 1/2 the distance. Terminal rate 120mph. Time = 1/2hour, or 30 min. Distance = 60 miles. By moment of motion 1. time taken for acceleration 30min. Distance covered 60miles. rate of acceleration, 60miles/30min = 2 miles per minute, which is equal to 120mph. What was at the beginning: 120mph is the same: 120mph as at the ending.

∙ 13y agoNo. Acceleration is a change of speed or direction over time.

∙ 11y agoNo, that would be "velocity."
Acceleration is a change in velocity -- either in its size (ie, its speed) or its direction -- over unit time.

Why does a unit of time enter a unit or acceleration twice?
Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity divided by a time. Since the units for velocity are distance / time, you naturally get units of (distance / time) / time.
What are two words that describe the rate of motion of an object at a given point in time?
Velocity is the change of distance over change in time (distance/unit time) and Acceleration is the change in velocity/unit time.
What is the difference between volicity and accleration?
Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).
Why does the unit of time enter twice in the unit accereration?
It should be noted that an acceleration is not a velocity. Velocity is defined as distance per unit rate; thus, it has dimensions of length/time. Acceleration is defined as change of velocity per unit rate; thus, its dimensions are velocity / time, i.e., (length/time) / time.
Why acceleration is rate?
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. "How fast" means change of velocity per time unit - and this is also called a "rate".Acceleration means how fast velocity changes.

"How fast" means change of velocity per time unit - and this is also called a "rate".
Measurements of acceleration are given in units of what?
Acceleration is the rate of change of the function of velocity per unit time. This means that the unit of acceleration is distance per unit time squared.

Is the distance an object travels in one unit of time called acceleration?
No, the distance an object travels in unit time is called speed. The distance travelled per unit time in a specified direction is called velocity. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.
What is the difference between and accleration?
Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).
Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
What is the formula for speed and acceleration?
formula for speed is distance traveled over time taken to cover distance acceleration is given by change in velocity per unit time
Measurements of acceleration are given in units of?
(any unit of length or distance) divided by (any unit of time)2 is a unit of acceleration.
What are the units for speed and acceleration?
Speed . . . Any unit of length or distance/any unit of time Acceleration . . . Any unit of speed/any unit of time
The slope of a line on a distance time graph is?
Equal to the acceleration of the object that is moving through distance in time. * * * * * No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed.
Is acceleration the change in distance over time?
acceleration is the change in speed in a certain amount of time eg a car goes from 4km/h to 10km/h in 3 seconds, what is its acceleration? 10km/h - 4km/h=6 6/3 secounds=2 acceleration is 2km/h acceleration= change in speed/time
