If increasing velocity is called acceleration what is increasing acceleration called?

You are confusing terms.
An acceleration is a change in velocity not necessarily an increase in velocity, it is a change.
A change in velocity is brought about by a force acting upon a body.

Is it possible for an object to have an increasing velocity and an increasing acceleration?
If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk
What is the change in velocity per unit time?
Acceleration.
If object moves with constant acceleration its velocity is?
It velocity is constantly increasing, v=vo + at.
How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?
Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.
What is the meaning of the rate of change of velocity?
The rate of change of velocity, either increasing or decreasing, is its acceleration or deceleration.
Is it possible for an object to have an increasing velocity and an increasing acceleration?
If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk
What is called negative accelarration?
Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.
When acceleration increase does velocity increase?
No. Acceleration IS a change of velocity - any change. When velocity increases, there IS acceleration. The acceleration itself may be increasing, decreasing, or remain constant.
Explain the circumstances when the acceleration and the velocity of car are parallel?
when velocity of a car is increasing then velocity and acceleration are parallel to each other.
What is the change in velocity per unit time?
Acceleration.
How is increasing speed acceleration?
By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
If object moves with constant acceleration its velocity is?
It velocity is constantly increasing, v=vo + at.
How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?
Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.
Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
Rate at which velocity changes over time'?
if 'S' is diplacement and 't' is time: dS/dt=V (velocity) dV/dt=a (acceleration)
If the acceleration is increasing with time will the velocity graph be a straight line concave up or concave down?
Concave up. "Acceleration is increasing with time" tells us that the derivative of acceleration is positive. Since acceleration is the derivative of velocity, this means that the second derivative of velocity is positive. By definition, having a non-negative second derivative means that velocity is concave up.
