It doesn't "affect" it. Acceleration is DEFINED as (delta v) / (delta t), or change in velocity divided by the time elapsed; so whenever you have a delta-v, you'll have an acceleration (the amount of which also depends on the time elapsed).

Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


Are velocity and acceleration related?

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


What is the equation for change in acceleration?

accelaration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Therefore the formula for acceleration is a =(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) divide by the (change in time)


Is velocity the same as acceleration?

No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity.


Does acceleration change when time changes?

Acceleration can change as time changes if there is a change in the velocity of the object. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so any change in velocity will result in a change in acceleration.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?

An object traveling at constant velocity cannot have acceleration because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. If the velocity of an object is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


When is velocity parallel to acceleration?

Velocity is parallel to acceleration when an object is moving with constant speed in a straight line, as the direction of the velocity and acceleration vectors are aligned. This means that the object's speed may be constant, but its direction can change.


Does velocity differ from acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


What is the change in velocity over time?

The change in velocity over time is known as acceleration. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for that change to occur.


The change in an object velocity?

The change in an object's velocity is determined by its acceleration. If the object's acceleration is positive, its velocity increases; if it is negative, the velocity decreases. The larger the acceleration, the quicker the change in velocity will be.


Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?

Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).
