Rate of change of velocity (in advanced mathematics, they call that the derivative of velocity). In other word, how fast the velocity changes. Commonly measured in (meters / second) / second, which is usually written as meters / second2.

What is the definition of acceleration index?

An acceleration index is a vector quanity, which is defined as the rate at which a defined object changes its velocity.

Can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes?

accelerationThe rate at which velocity changes is called "acceleration".


Can an object be accelerating with constant velocity?

No, since acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. If there is no change, there is no acceleration.


What is defined as the change in velocity over time?

Acceleration


Does acceleration always result from a change in velocity?

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity... so, yes.


What does forces in terms of acceleration mean?

As defined by Isaac Newton, force equals mass times acceleration.


What is the formula for calculating acceleration, which is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time?

The formula for calculating acceleration is: acceleration change in velocity / time.


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.


Acceleration can be defined as the rate at which velocity?

How is acceleration similar to velocity?

Acceleration is the RATE OF CHANGE of velocity. That means that acceleration and velocity have different units.The only similarity is that both are defined as rates of change.


If a car is slowing down can its acceleration be positive?

No, if a car is slowing down, its acceleration is negative. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so if the car's velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is in the opposite direction.
