Speed is the measure of distance covered in specific time - 7 metres in 2 seconds or 45 kilometres in 1 hour

Acceleration is the change in velocity

Acceleration is measured in metres per second per second (m/s/s)

Velocity is speed with direction (5 m/s [North]) or 12 m/s [South 32° West]

Not speed itself

If a Formula 1 cars starting velocity is 0m/s (metres per second)

And its final velocity is 27m/s

The difference is 27m/s

If this change happened in 3seconds

Acceleration = 27 / 3

Acceleration = 9m/s/s

What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.


Why acceleration is tangent to the path?

Acceleration is tangent to the path because it is a measure of the rate of change of velocity. By being tangent to the path, acceleration describes how the direction or speed of an object is changing as it moves along a curved path. The tangential component of acceleration is responsible for changes in speed, while the normal component of acceleration is responsible for changes in direction.


What is the Difference between Uniform motion and uniform acceleration?

Uniform motion is when an object moves with a constant speed in a straight line. Uniform acceleration is when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate. In uniform acceleration, the speed of the object increases or decreases by the same amount over equal time intervals.


How is increasing speed acceleration?

By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).


What is the difference between speed and acceleration?

Speed is the measurement of how fast your locationis changing. It is the scalar value of velocity, which is speed in a given direction. Velocity can change without a change in speed.Acceleration is the measurement of how fast your speed is changing. However, since acceleration is more precisely a change in velocity, you could experience acceleration without a change in speed, if your direction of motion changes. The occupants of a car traveling at constant speed around a curve will experience acceleration toward one side of the car.Speed is simply how fast a person is going at a particular instant in time. As long as you keep going at the same speed and in the same direction, then you have no acceleration. Conversely, acceleration can be defined as the process of changing speed. So, just as having zero speed means that one's position, or distance, does not change, so having zero acceleration means one speed does not change.The word speed refers to how fast one is moving but does not involve the concept of which direction one is moving. However, acceleration can be achieved by changing the direction of motion as well as by changing the rate of motion. The concept required is the idea of a vector, which is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. In an extreme case, moving in a circle at a constant speed does nothing to change speed, but does change the direction of motion, and so is a case where there is acceleration.

What is the difference between speed velocity acceleration?

Speed is the rate of change in distance, whereas velocity is speed and direction of travel. Acceleration is the change in velocity (including direction).


What describes motion of a car?

Acceleration describes the motion of a car. Acceleration is defined as an increase in the rate or speed of something.


What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 60 mph?

At a constant speed there is no acceleration. Acceleration describes a positive change in speed meaning to go faster. Deacceleration describes how fast something is slowing down. But at a constant speed of 60mph there is acceleration or deacceleration.


What is the difference between speed and acceleration in phisycs?

Speed is the rate at which an object is moving, while acceleration is the rate at which an object's speed is changing. Speed is a scalar quantity (only magnitude), while acceleration is a vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction).


What is the difference between tangential and centripetal acceleration?

Tangential acceleration is the change in speed of an object moving in a circular path, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path. Tangential acceleration affects the speed of the object, while centripetal acceleration affects the direction of the object's motion.


What is the difference between tangential acceleration and radial acceleration in the context of circular motion?

Tangential acceleration is the change in speed of an object moving in a circular path, while radial acceleration is the change in direction of the object's velocity. Tangential acceleration affects the object's speed, while radial acceleration affects the object's direction of motion.


What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.


What is the different between motion and acceleration?

Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.


How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?

There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.


What is the difference between Average Speed and Instantaneous Speed?

Suppose you accelerate in your car from stopped to 50 km.hr-1. When you were stopped your instantaneous speed was zero. At the end of the period of acceleration your instantaneous speed was 50 km.hr-1. If your rate of acceleration was constant then your average speed was 25 km.hr-1.


Does velocity describe both speed and acceleration?

No. Velocity describes a speed and a direction. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate of change of velocity (in symbols: dv/dt); in other words, how fast does the velocity change.


The main diference between speed and velocity involves?

The main difference between speed and velocity is that speed is a scalar quantity, representing only magnitude, while velocity is a vector quantity, representing both magnitude and direction. Speed describes how fast an object is moving, while velocity describes the rate of change of an object's position in a particular direction.
