Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.
Acceleration is directly proportional to the change in speed. If the speed increases, acceleration is positive. If the speed decreases, acceleration is negative. The magnitude of acceleration is determined by the rate at which the speed changes.
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so if speed is constant, acceleration is zero. However, if speed is constant but direction is changing (e.g. moving in a circle at constant speed), the velocity is changing, and thus there is still acceleration.
Yes. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is either change in speed or change in direction. If you fix the speed, change in direction can account for change in velocity, i.e. acceleration.
In popular usage, "acceleration" means an increase in speed. In physics, any change in velocity is called an "acceleration".In popular usage, "acceleration" means an increase in speed.

Acceleration is a measure of how quickly the speed of an object changes over time, not the speed itself. Speed refers to the rate at which an object covers distance, while acceleration refers to how the speed of the object changes. So, acceleration is not a kind of speed, but rather a measure of how speed changes.
A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
Acceleration is directly proportional to the change in speed. If the speed increases, acceleration is positive. If the speed decreases, acceleration is negative. The magnitude of acceleration is determined by the rate at which the speed changes.
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed. Acceleration = speed/time.
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.
By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so if speed is constant, acceleration is zero. However, if speed is constant but direction is changing (e.g. moving in a circle at constant speed), the velocity is changing, and thus there is still acceleration.
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
Acceleration measures the change in speed
Yes. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is either change in speed or change in direction. If you fix the speed, change in direction can account for change in velocity, i.e. acceleration.
