The change of the velocity of an object divided by the time for the change to occur?

That's a pretty good definition of the object's "acceleration".

Measurement of the change in the velocity of an object divided by the time it takes for this change to occur is?
Acceleration.
What is the scientific meaning of the word acceleration?
Change in velocity divided by the amount of time needed for the change to occur;takes place when an object speeds up,slows down,or changes direction
When does the velocity of an object change?
When its speed changes, when it turns changing its direction of travel or when both occur.
Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity. It occurs when an object changes speed and/or direction.
How does a change of velocity occur?
Velocity changes as the result of a force. More specifically, the net force on an object must be different to zero. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.
Measurement of the change in the velocity of an object divided by the time it takes for this change to occur is?
Acceleration.
What is the change in velocity divided by the time interval in which the change occured?
It is acceleration. The difference between final velocity and initial velocity, divided by the time is the AVERAGE acceleration. Remember, though that velocity is a vector. So if you are going round in a circle at a constant speed, your direction of motion is changing continuously and so you are always accelerating!
Is the change of an objects velocity divided by the amount of time required for change to occur?
That is called acceleration.

When does the velocity of an object change?
When its speed changes, when it turns changing its direction of travel or when both occur.
Change in velocity divided by the thime it takes for the change to occur?
That would be the magnitude of the average acceleration during that period of time.
Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity. It occurs when an object changes speed and/or direction.
How does a change of velocity occur?
Velocity changes as the result of a force. More specifically, the net force on an object must be different to zero. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.
Acceleration occur when velocity changes?
Only the acceleration brings a change in velocity.
Why does change in velocity happen?
When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration". A force is necessary to cause it.
Which can occur when an object is accelerating?
The object's velocityi will change.
If you change the velocity of a moving object you change its?
Motion occurs when the object is displaced from its initial point. Let's say we have point A. The object lies there. Then in the next frame, the object is at point B. The object then has moved from point A to point B. Two things are required of motion: Space and time. For motion to occur, an object must move from one point in space to another point in space over an interval of time.
