Best Answer

Acceleration is the a change in speed or direction. Once a vehicle reaches a point where it is maintaining its speed but no longer increasing (or decreasing) the acceleration is zero. Even though you may be moving rapidly it is at a constant speed.

How the speed of a vehicle is related to engine speed and how tha vehicle speed is affected by the engine torque and gear ratio?

A smaller number as a gear ratio means more speed. Higher ratios have higher torque and less speed. The size of the engine just determines hp and tq for that engine unless it is upgraded. The gear ratio and engine determine the vehicles top speed and acceleration. More torque means more power therefore more acceleration.
