Acceleration as in metres per second per second? The acceleration of a car for example?

In words, acceleration is the rate of change of speed. (Speed is the rate of change of position).

Does acceleration always mean that an object is speeding up?

No. As used in physics, the word "acceleration" means that THE VELOCITY CHANGES. More precisely, it refers to how quickly the velocity changes, in symbols, dv/dt.


Does velocity describe both speed and acceleration?

No. Velocity describes a speed and a direction. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate of change of velocity (in symbols: dv/dt); in other words, how fast does the velocity change.


What are the tangential and normal components of acceleration?

Well if you are familiar with calculus the projection of acceleration vector a(t)on to the Tangent unit vector T(t), that is tangential acceleration. While the projection of acceleration vector a(t) on to the normal vector is the normal acceleration vector. Therefore we know that acceleration is on the same plane as T(t) and N(t). So component of acceleration for tangent vector is (v dot a)/ magnitude of v component of acceleration for normal vector is sqrt((magnitude of acceleration)^2 - (component of acceleration for tangent vector)^2) sorry i can't explain it to you more cause I don't have mathematical symbols to work with


Are velocity and acceleration the same?

They are definitely NOT the same. Acceleration is not velocity; acceleration is the RATE OF CHANGE of velocity. In symbols: a = dv/dt, which basically means that you divide the difference of velocity by the time, for a small time interval. Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.


What is acceleration a scalar or vector quantity?

A vector. Acceleration is defined as change in velocity in a given time, in symbolsa = ( v - u ) / t(the bolded symbols represent vectors)t is a scalar so its inverse is also a scalar.( v - u ) is a vector soa = vector * scalar = a vector.Answer2:Acceleration like many quantities is a Quaternion, consisting of a scalar part and a vector part. a= mv2/r is a scalar acceleration and A=dV/dt is a vector acceleration as is cV/r = A.

When do you have acceleration?

Whenever the velocity changes. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (in symbols, dv/dt), that is, how fast does the velocity change.
