Another definition for the word "acceleration" is "the rate of change of velocity per unit of time."

What does acceleration have to do with go karts?

Whenever a velocity changes, by definition you have an acceleration.


How is increasing speed acceleration?

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


Is it possible for a car to be accelerated at a constant?

Mathematically speaking, it is possible, since acceleration means an increase in velocity (or speed with respect to a point), for some time at least. However, the car must travel from a very slow speed for acceleration to be constant. Also, another method is for the car to not move at all. This is usually not accepted by acceleration but by definition of velocity and acceleration, it is considered constant zero acceleration. Velocity is the rate and direction of the change in the position of an object. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. By definition, velocity = 0, acceleration = 0.


How do you calculate the accelerration of an object?

The basic definition of acceleration is (change of velocity) divide by time. Depending on the data you have, you can directly use this basic definition to calculate acceleration.


What is the definition of the equation F MA?

Force = Mass * Acceleration. It may be considered a definition of force.


How is accleration calculated?

By using the basic definition of acceleration, as (difference of velocity) divided by (time). In cases where the acceleration can be expected to change over time, to get the instantaneous acceleration, you need the limit of this expression, in other words, dv/dt.By using the basic definition of acceleration, as (difference of velocity) divided by (time).

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.


Equation for average acceleration?

There are various equations that involve acceleration; the simplest one is the definition of acceleration: acceleration = (change of velocity) / time.


What is the definition of free fall?

when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.


Can velocity of an object change when its acceleration is constant?

Certainly! By definition, the acceleration is the change, so it will change unless that amount is zero.


The increase of velocity over a period of time is?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. So, if velocity is increasing over a period of time, there is acceleration present.


Definition of magnitude of acceleration?

The great size or extent of something.
