Acceleration.

This is measured in metres per second per second.

As you pointed out in the question this is change in velocity (or speed) over a specific time period.

The equation for acceleration is:

Acceleration (m/s/s) = delta v (change in velocity measured in m/s) / delta t (change in time measured in seconds)

What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the speed at which the body is moving?

The velocity changes. called acceleration.


What is the speed and direction of a moving body called?

The speed and direction of a moving body is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed of an object and the direction in which it is moving.


If a body is moving with a uniform velocity.what will be its acceleration?

If a body is moving with a uniform velocity, its acceleration will be zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity over time and thus zero acceleration.


What is a acccelertion of a body moving with a uniform velocity?

Zero, since the velocity doesn't change.


A moving body must undergo a change in?

A moving body must undergo a change in its velocity to show acceleration. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction so any change in speed, direction, or both constitutes a change in velocity, resulting in acceleration.


What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the direction in which the body is moving?

It depends how you changed the direction of the body. If the body is hit by an external force in the direction of motion, the velocity should increase. If the body is hit by an external force in the opposite direction of motion, velocity will decrease.


When do the velocity and speed of a moving body become equal?

The velocity and speed of a moving body become equal when the motion is along a straight line with no change in direction. In such cases, the velocity and speed have the same magnitude.


When can you say that a moving body has diccelerated?

A moving body is decelerating when its velocity is decreasing over time. This can be observed when the speed of the body is decreasing, or when the body is moving in the direction opposite to its initial velocity. Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration, where acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, deceleration is the rate at which the speed decreases.


What are diifferent word for object?

a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.


Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?

Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.


A body is moving with uniform velocity what will be its accelerationshow?

Acceleration is (delta velocity) / (delta time), that is, change in velocity per time unit. In this case, since the velocity doesn't change, the acceleration is zero.


Which change in position of a body with time is called?

The change in position of a body with time is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and the direction of motion.
