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 measures an object's motions?
An object's motion can be measured by parameters such as its speed, velocity, acceleration, and position. These measurements help determine how the object is moving (speed and velocity), how its motion is changing (acceleration), and where it is located in space (position).
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).
What measurements do you need in order calculate acceleration?
Speed and time. As acceleration is the change in speed over time.However, if you do not have a direct reading of speed, you will need to claculate that also, from distance over time.So all the units are:-Distance = MetresTime. = SecondsSpeed = m/sAcceleration = m/s/s or m/s2
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.
What do 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.
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.

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.
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).
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.
