The two words are synonyms. However, in physics there is a more precise definition, which is a change in an object's position in a specified direction with time.
So in everyday language we could say the speed of the car is 60 miles per hour, but in physics you'd say its velocity is 60 miles per hour North/South/East/West.

∙ 8y agoVelocity 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).

∙ 8y agoBoth are rates of change: velocity is the rate of change of position (ds/dt, where "s" is the position); acceleration is the rate of change of velocity (dv/dt).Both are vectors, which means that the direction is relevant.

∙ 14y ago-both have displacement - both quantities has speed - in both speed and velocity their is the distance traveled I do it for a science journal recuperation, i hope you understand.

∙ 12y agoSpeed is what is called a scalar value meaning it has just a magnitude (a number) and velocity is a vector value meaning it has magnitude and direction.

∙ 12y agoguess what guys i don't know neither i was hoping for you guys to know since you don't know that's to bad...

∙ 14y agoVelocity and Acceleration are both vectors. Vectors meaning they both have magnitude and direction. Also both involve some measure of speed.

Velocity (speed) = distance / time
So >
distance = velocity * time

What is the similarity between constant speed and acceleration?
If the speed is constant then equal distances are covered in equal intervals of time If acceleration is constant then equal change in velocity occurs in equal intervals of time.

What is the different between motion and acceleration?
Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.
What is the difference between constant speed and constant acceleration?
Constant speed means that speed doesn't change. Constant acceleration means that acceleration doesn't change. (If the acceleration is anything but zero, speed WILL change.)
What are some differences and similarities between acceleration and velocity?
Velocity is distance over time, Acceleration is velocity with a direction.
What is the different between velocity and acceleration?
Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.
What is the difference between speed and acceleration in phisycs?
Speed - is something moving at a constant rate. Acceleration is an increase of the rate an object is moving.
What is the difference between speed velocity acceleration?
Speed is the rate of change in distance, whereas velocity is speed and direction of travel. Acceleration is the change in velocity (including direction).
What is the difference between an object with constant acceleration and an object with constant speed?
Constant speed means that the speed doesn't change.Constant acceleration means that the acceleration doesn't change. The velocity WILL change in this case - unless the acceleration happens to be zero. So will the speed - note that in circular motion, both the acceleration and the velocity change all the time, even if the speed doesn't change.
At higher speeds a vehicle's rate of acceleration will be?
There's no necessary connection between a vehicle's speed and its acceleration.
The relationship of speed and acceleration?
Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed. Acceleration = speed/time.
What is the difference between acceleration and deceleration?
Acceleration means speeding up or getting faster. Deceleration means losing speed or speed rate decreasing. 'Celer' is the Latin word for fast or speedy. - Answer Deceleration is the loss in speed or slowing down. Acceleration is the increase in speed.
How is speed and acceleration represented on a graph?
On a speed versus time graph, acceleration is represented by the line on the graph. If acceleration is constant, the line cuts through equally between the axis and starts from the zero point.
How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
