If you mean "acceleration", that is the rate of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes. For example, if an object falls down without air resistance, close to Earth's surface, its speed will increase by 9.8 meters per second every second. This is commonly written as 9.8 meters/second2 - and this rate of change of velocity is called "acceleration".

∙ 14y agoIn physics, acceleration is a rate of change in velocity. Acceleration can also be used to describe a rate of change of anything, chemical or physical, such as reaction time, aging, growth, absorption, dissolution, etc.

∙ 11y agoThe rate of change of velocity is called accelaration.
If u is the intial velocity, v is the final velocity in time interval t then,
a=change in velocity/time
a=v-u/t

What is the acceletation due to gravity?
About 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2) downwards.
If you are going 50miles hours for 30 seconds what is the acceletation?
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity (speed) Thus if your speed is constant (50 miles per hour) your acceleration is zero
What is the equation to calculate the maximum height of an object given an initial velocity and initial launch height?
height=acceletation(t^2) + velocity(t) + initial height take (T final - T initial) /2 and place it in for time and there you go
Why does your car sqeal?
Check for a serious exhaust leak if this sound occurs on rapid acceletation. Squealing also occurs in power steering if it is low on fluid and you are cornering. Another squeal is a slipping fan belt ... get it checked out soon as it will only get worse and probably cost more later for repairs than for a simpler repair right now.
