Acceleration is the change of speed upward. Velocity is any speed, in a fixed direction.
So the diference, is that in speed; the direction can change, but the speed remain constant. Only if it moves faster or slower dose the speed change.
So in velocity, if the speed, or the direction change, then the velocity changes.

Is velocity the same as acceleration?
Both are vectors. But acceleration and velocity have different dimensions. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Can bodies with different velocities have same acceleration?
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.
How is acceleration similar to velocity?
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.
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
How is average velocity different from acceleration?
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]
How is velocity of zero different from an accerlation at zero?
Acceleration is changing velocity. Zero velocity means no motion. Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.
Is it possible for a body to have the same acceleration and velocity?
The velocity and acceleration can have the same numeric value, but the units will be different. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No it is not possible. Because so long there is acceleration then the velocity has to change either in magnitude or in direction or in both. So it is not at all possible for acceleration and velocity to be the same simultaneously.
How are acceleration and velocity alike and different from each other?
-- both are related to measurements of motion of objects -- acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes
What is the different between velocity and acceleration?
Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.
What makes a change in velocity?
A force on a material object.The change in velocity per second is (the force) divided by (the object's mass).
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
How are motion and acceleration different?
In Simple motion, there is no force being applied. The moving object moves in a straight line with constant velocity. In acceleration, there is a force applied. The object's velocity is changing. The first derivative of acceleration is velocity. The first derivative of velocity is distance. (Derivative is a calculus thing.)
