The answer becomes clear with the aid of some simple mathematics.

Acceleration is defined as (change in velocity)/(time for the change) .

Clearly, then, acceleration is infinite whenever velocity changes in "no time".

What is meant by the acceleration of a body?

the rate of change in the velocity of a body


What is meant by the term acceleration?

Acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It can be an increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction. The formula for acceleration is acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.


What is meant by de-acceleration?

de acceleration just means slowing down. Acceleration means speeding up. Actually any change in speed is considered to be acceleration. Slowing down is called negative acceleration or (de-acceration) and speeding up is called positive excelleration.


A car slows to a stop in 5 seconds if it was going 80 kilometers an hour what was its acceleration?

You can't figure "acceleration" from this information. Maybe you meant "Deceleration"? Ask again.


What is meant by an acceleration of -2 ms2?

An acceleration of -2 m/s^2 means that the velocity of an object is decreasing by 2 meters per second every second. The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.


What is meant by acceleration due to gravity?

Earth being a massive body attracts every other massive body. This force of attraction is named as weight of the body. But force is equated to the expression m*a Here m is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration. So the general a is to be replaced by g a symbol meant for the acceleration due to gravity. Its average value is 9.8 m/s2


What is meant by the term 'Forces'?

It depends. If you are talking about motion, F = m*a. Force = mass times acceleration.


How do you graph acceleration?

The answer depends on what the graph is meant to show. The first step would be to read the axis labels.


Why does your 2003 mini shake on acceleration at 70 mph?

You are driving a 2003 mini.... it isn't meant to go that fast.


What is meant by positive acceleration and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up; speed increasing in the direction you're moving.Negative acceleration = slowing down; speed decreasing in the direction you're moving,or speed increasing in the opposite direction.
