Acceleration means how fast the body's velocity changes - in symbols, dv/dt. Average acceleration during a certain time is equal to (change in velocity) / (time elapsed). Since you are dividing a velocity by a time, the standard unit for acceleration is (meters / second) / second, but this is normally written as meters / second squared.

What is the relationship between mass and inertia of an object?
The inertia of a body can be defined as the relunctance of a body to acceleration. The mass of a body can be defined as a measure of the inertia of a body. This is because acceleration = resultant force / mass. So, if mass is greater, the less will be the acceleration of the body and hence the greater the inertia.
How is motion demonstratd with snowboarding?
Snowboarding demonstrates speed, velocity, and acceleration. It can also demonstrate a positive or negative value for velocity and acceleration.
What is the acceleration of a 24 kg mass pushed by a 6N force?
Acceleration is 0.25m/s2 (A = force/mass).
What is Newton's second law of motion as an equation?
Newton's 2nd Law is Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or F=ma.
A horizontal force acts a body that is free to move can it produce an acceleration if the force is less then the weight of that body?
Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.
What is the value of acceleration of a body at rest?
Zero
what is the value of acceleration for a body at rest?
Zero
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
No, changing the mass of a free-falling body does not affect the value of the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant value that is independent of the mass of the object. All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.
When is the acceleration of a body is positive?
A body's acceleration is positive when its velocity is increasing over time. This can happen when the body is speeding up in the same direction as its velocity, or when it is slowing down in the opposite direction of its velocity. Both scenarios result in a positive acceleration value.
How would the observed value of acceleration be affected if the falling body used were heavier?
Your question describes it as a "falling body", so I'm assuming that you're asking about a body with no force on it except for the gravitational force. This is an important assumption. If it's true, then the mass (weight) of the falling body has no effect at all on its acceleration. Except for the effect of air resistance, all bodies fall with the same acceleration.
How will value of the acceleration be affected if the falling body is heavy?
The value of acceleration in a free-falling body is constant (g). The mass of the body will have no effect on the acceleration. On earth, if you drop a heavy weight and a feather together, the weight will hit the ground first because the feather is held back by air resistance. If you do the same thing in a vacuum (as was demonstrated by an astronaut on the moon) both will hit the ground at the same time.
What is meant by acceleration due to gravity?
Earth being a massive body attracts every other massive body. This force of attraction is named as weight of the body. But force is equated to the expression m*a Here m is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration. So the general a is to be replaced by g a symbol meant for the acceleration due to gravity. Its average value is 9.8 m/s2
If a body is acted by a constant force the body will have uniform?
"acceleration"
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.
When a body has velocity no constant has acceleration or no?
Yes. If a body has a constant velocity there is no acceleration, but if the velocity is changing there is acceleration present.
What is the acceleration of mass?
force acting on unit mass of body is the acceleration of that body.
When a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?
When a body has constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, so if velocity is constant, there is no change and hence no acceleration.
