Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving.
Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
Both are vectors. But acceleration and velocity have different dimensions. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Velocity is distance over time, Acceleration is velocity with a direction.
Yes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.
Acceleration is the RATE OF CHANGE of velocity. That means that acceleration and velocity have different units.The only similarity is that both are defined as rates of change.
Velocity is the rate of change of distance with time, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
Uniform velocity is velocity unaffected by acceleration. Variable velocity is velocity affected by acceleration. Lauren "Physics above all!"
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]
-- 'Velocity' is the rate at which position is changing, and the direction of the change. -- 'Acceleration' is the rate at which velocity is changing, and the direction of the change.
Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).
