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?

Speed measures how fast an object is moving regardless of direction, while velocity measures both the speed and direction an object is moving. Acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing over time, indicating an increase or decrease in speed or change in direction.


Are speed and acceleration the same?

No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.


What is one similarity to speed velocity acceleration?

Speed, velocity, and acceleration all have momentum.


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 are the importance of speed velocity and acceleration in sports?

what are important speed, velocity and acceleration in several sports


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).


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.


Why is the velocity 0 when your speed is constant?

It's not. If you speed is constant (but not zero), then your velocity won't be zero, either.You may be confusing this with the following: If your VELOCITY (not your speed) is constant, then your ACCELERATION is zero. Acceleration refers to how quickly velocity changes, so if velocity doesn't change at all, acceleration is zero.


How is increasing speed acceleration?

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