### How acceleration is different from velocity?

Velocity is the rate at which location changes, and the direction in which location changes. Acceleration is the rate at which the size of velocity changes, and the direction in which velocity changes.

### What are acceleration and velocity?

'Velocity' means the rate at which position changes, and the direction in which it changes. 'Acceleration' means the rate at which velocity changes, and the direction in which it changes.

### What is the rate at what velocity changes with time?

The rate at which velocity changes in time is called acceleration.

### What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes?

accelerationThe rate at which velocity changes is called "acceleration".

### What are the similarities and differences between speed velocity and acceleration?

Velocity is speed with a direction. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, just as velocity is the rate at which position changes (and jerk is the rate at which acceleration changes).

### Acceleration is the rate at which what changes?

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. (Not speed.)

### What is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time?

Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.

### What tells how velocity changes?

The acceleration (the rate of change of velocity)

### How is acceleration different from velocity?

Position is the place where an object is located. Speed is the rate at which position changes. Velocity is the speed and direction of motion. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, and the direction of the change. So you could say that acceleration is the rate at which (the rate at which position changes and the direction) changes, and the direction of the change.

### What happens to an objects velocity as it accelerates?

The velocity changes. Acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity, i.e., how fast it changes.

### Compare and contrast speed velocity and acceleration?

-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.

### Why is acceleration 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".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".

### Is the rate at which an object changes velocity?

No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.

### What is it called when an object changes velocity?

That's simply called a change in velocity. On the other hand, the rate of change in velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is called acceleration.

### Distinguish between velocity acceleration.?

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes with time, where as velocity is speed with a direction.

### Acceleration is the change of velocity?

Yes. To be more precise, the rate of change of velocity - how fast the velocity changes.

### What is the relationship between accerleration and velocity?

Acceleration is the rate of change of the magnitude of velocity and the direction in which the velocity changes.

### How can you describe changes in velocity?

This is usually described by the term "acceleration" - which is really the rate of change of velocity (how quickly velocity changes); in symbols: a = dv/dt.

### The rate at which the volicity of an object changes over time?

The rate at which velocity changes over time is known as acceleration. In calculus, acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time.

### What is the define for acceleration?

rate at which a rate changes a= change in velocity divided by time

### Acceleration vs velocity?

Acceleration is the rate at which the size of velocity changes and the direction of the change.

### The rate of change of velocity is?

The rate at which velocity changes is known as the acceleration of an object.Calculating acceleration, given velocity can be achieved with the formula:acceleration = change in velocity / change in time
