When a driver steps on the gas pedal of a vehicle how is the acceleration different from the acceleration defined in physics?

Its not.
Except that the rate of acceleration varies a lot, and
in textbook examples its usually held constant to make it easier to solve the math.

At higher speeds a vehicle's rate of acceleration will be?
There's no necessary connection between a vehicle's speed and its acceleration.
What is the acceleration of vehicle moving with uniform velocity?
It has zero acceleration!!
What is acceleration induced traction?
Acceleration induced traction is a safety feature available on many different models of new vehicles. This feature will add extra traction to your tires while you are accelerating your vehicle.
A car is moving at a constant speed is it accelerating?
This is one of those theoretical situations, like the frictionless surface you will see in physics problems. The short answer is that no, a car travelling at a constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Velocity is speed, so if you have zero change in velocity over a period of time, you have acceleration of zero. In the real world, you will have other factors acting on the vehicle, which would affect the acceleration.
How can you observe acceleration when you are in vehicle?
If undergoing positive acceleration you will the seat seeming to push against your back.

The term onboard is properly defined how?
The term called 'Onboard' can be properly defined in a large variety of different ways. These ways include, but are not limited to, somebody being on something ready to go, or carried within a vehicle.
Is a cart friction?
No a cart is a vehicle. Friction is resistance to a change in acceleration.
How long do it take to go 80 mph?
The answer depends on the acceleration of the vehicle.
When vehicle is at high rate of speed and acceleration is remove engine dies?
yes it will.
Why do headlights dim under hard acceleration?
because your vehicle has a weak alternator.
What causes steering wheel vibration during acceleration?
During acceleration? I'm not sure. But when both idling and acceleration the engine's combustion can cause a lot of vibration in the steering wheel if you are in an older vehicle.
What factors that affect the speed of a car?
What part of an automobile's engine has a direct impact on the acceleration rate of the vehicle as well as what do I do to improve that vehicles acceleration rate.
