Acceleration . . . (any length) divided by (any unit of time)2 , plus a direction
Any velocity . . . (any length) divided by (any unit of time), plus a direction
Time . . . second, minute, hour, day, week, fortnight, month, year, etc.

∙ 10y agoSpeed and velocity: meters/second. Or any unit of length divided by any unit of time. (Some units, such as "knots", don't make reference to length or time.)
Acceleration: meters/second2. Or any combination of units for length/time/time.

How is the speed of moving object measured?
Speed is measured by dividing your time into distance to come up with your velocity. speed is measured the same way as velocity. If you have a varying speed with acceleration and deceleration this would need to be factored in as well.
What is the formula for time when dealing with velocity and acceleration?
Velocity is measured in m/s and the direction is mentioned. Speed is also measured in m/s but the direction is not mentioned.Acceleration is measured in m2/s; it is the rate of change of velocity.
How fast you are changing your speed or direction of travel is a property of motion known as?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is the measurement of both speed and direction.
Is it possible that the velocity of a body changes and its acceleration remains constant?
The definition of acceleration is: Any change of velocity, that is, speed or direction of motion. If an object is undergoing constant acceleration, then the definition says that its velocity must be changing.
A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?
It's not possible. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, so if the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is zero, so is the net force.

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.

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is the measurement of both speed and direction.
What is the decrease of speed called in physics?
Any change of velocity, including a decrease of speed, is described and measured as acceleration. Assuming the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction, then in the case of decreasing speed, the magnitude of the acceleration is a negative value. Negative acceleration is often called deceleration, but that is just a special case of acceleration.
What is one similarity to speed velocity acceleration?
Speed, velocity, and acceleration all have momentum.
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
What are the importance of speed velocity and acceleration in sports?
what are important speed, velocity and acceleration in several sports
Is it possible that the velocity of a body changes and its acceleration remains constant?
The definition of acceleration is: Any change of velocity, that is, speed or direction of motion. If an object is undergoing constant acceleration, then the definition says that its velocity must be changing.
What does acceleration have to do with velocity?
Velocity is speed in a given direction Acceleration is the rate in which you change velocity.
A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?
It's not possible. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, so if the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is zero, so is the net force.
What measurements of velocity and acceleration have in common?
TIME is a factor in both measurements. Velocity is speed (distance divided by TIME) in a given direction. Acceleration is measured in velocity per unit of TIME. Therefore, they both have TIME in common.
