What distinguishes the measurement of speed from that of velocity and acceleration?

SPEED only considers a magnitude, not the direction in which something is moving.VELOCITY does consider the direction.
ACCELERATION is the rate of change of speed, so it has units of speed/time, or distance/time squared.

What distinguishes the measurements of speed from that of velocity and acceleration?
Velocity = speed, and the direction in which it's happening Acceleration = rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing
What type of quantity is acceleration?
Acceleration is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction components. It describes a change in velocity, another vector quantity.The presence of two components distinguishes it from a scalar quantity, like speed, that only has one component (velocity and speed are different).
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.
What is acceleration speed and velocity?
Speed is (distance covered) divided by (time taken to cover the distance).Velocity is a speed and its direction.Acceleration is any change of velocity.
How is speed velocity and acceleration alike?
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity. In other words, acceleration is the rate at which the velocity is changing.

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
Do all vectors have speed?
No. A vector is any measurement that includes a direction, for example velocity, momentum, acceleration, or force.
What does acceleration have to do with velocity?
Velocity is speed in a given direction Acceleration is the rate in which you change velocity.
How are acceleration and speed alike?
They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.

Is it speed acceleration velocity when a softball is hit into the outfield?
In that case, you have all three - speed, acceleration, velocity.
