acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.

Can bodies with different velocities have same acceleration?

Yes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.


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.


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 with respect to time, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. In other words, acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing.


Is it possible for a body to have the same acceleration and velocity?

The velocity and acceleration can have the same numeric value, but the units will be different. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No it is not possible. Because so long there is acceleration then the velocity has to change either in magnitude or in direction or in both. So it is not at all possible for acceleration and velocity to be the same simultaneously.


How are acceleration and velocity alike and different from each other?

-- both are related to measurements of motion of objects -- acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes


What is the different between velocity and acceleration?

Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.


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 two automobiles have the same acceleration do they have the same velocity?

No. V=v0 +at is the formula for velocity, the acceleration 'a' can be the same but the initial velocity v0 may be different. If v0 is the same for the two automobiles , the velocity would be the same.


What happens to a velocity when the acceleration changes?

If the acceleration changes, the velocity of an object will also change. If the acceleration increases, the velocity will increase. If the acceleration decreases, the velocity will decrease. The velocity and acceleration of an object are directly related.


How are motion and acceleration different?

In Simple motion, there is no force being applied. The moving object moves in a straight line with constant velocity. In acceleration, there is a force applied. The object's velocity is changing. The first derivative of acceleration is velocity. The first derivative of velocity is distance. (Derivative is a calculus thing.)


Are velocity and acceleration related?

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant velocity?

No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
