Want this question answered?
"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". It means the rate at which velocity is changing. And "velocity" doesn't mean "speed". It means speed and direction.
time
(change in speed) divided by (time required to make the change)This number is the magnitude of average acceleration.
No. Acceleration is (change of velocity) divided by (time interval in which it changed). If velocity doesn't change, then there is no acceleration.
Acceleration is change of velocity divided by time; so if the velocity doesn't change, acceleration is zero.
That is called acceleration.
"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". It means the rate at which velocity is changing. And "velocity" doesn't mean "speed". It means speed and direction.
Change in velocity divided by time is acceleration, but velocity divided by time has no particular significance.
It equals an undefined entity. The average acceleration of an object equals the CHANGE in velocity divided by the time interval. The term "change in velocity" is not the same as the term "velocity", "average velocity", or "instantaneous velocity".
Acceleration = (change in velocity) divided by (time for the change)
Average velocity
time
Time.
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!
