what is the relationship between velocity and acceleration?
61168
Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

Acceleration is the change in velocity, not the velocity itself; therefore, an object can have zero velocity but not zero acceleration because the velocity will be changing.

The longer the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity. Change in velocity is directly proportional to time when acceleration is constant. If velocity increases by a certain amount in a certain time, it should increase by twice that amount in twice the time.

If the velocity was previously zero, and still is zero, then the acceleration is zero. If there was previously a non-zero velocity, but the velocity is now zero, then the acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the change in time.

Section 6.2 - Instantaneous Velocity and Acceleration. When an object s distance changes with time, its velocity is the rate at which the distance is changing with respect to time, while its acceleration is the rate at which the velocity is changing with respect to time.

The equation is F = ma, where F stands for force, m is mass, and a is the acceleration. Because of the link between velocity and acceleration, you can also write this as force = mass × the rate of change of velocity. However, acceleration is the key characteristic here, not velocity.

Speed and velocity are measured in units of distance per time. Acceleration is the change in velocity (or speed) per time interval. Acceleration units are speed per time.

Terms in this set (22) Acceleration is increasing or decreasing speed or changing direction, whereas velocity is how much distance you cover in a given amount of time. What is the difference between constant velocity, instantaneous velocity and average velocity? Give an example of an object with constant acceleration.

Acceleration is related to velocity and time by the following expression: a = vp tq. Find the powers p and q that make this equation dimensionally consistent. Here, a is acceleration, v is velocity and t is time.

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. constant velocity is the velocity which doesn't change per time. So,if the velocity is constant,the acceleration is zero.

Average speed is distance divided by time. Velocity is speed in a given direction. Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time.

Velocity is speed with a direction, so distance over time with a specific direction. And acceleration, the king of them all, is distance over time squared, aka the rate at which velocity changes. Whether you are speeding up, slowing down, or changing directions, you are changing your velocity and thus, accelerating.

Acceleration. ... Acceleration is the change in velocity per second and is measured in m/s 2. The relationship between acceleration, velocity change and the time taken for the change is given by this formula. acceleration = change in velocity time taken = v - u t. v = final velocity and u = starting velocity.

Velocity is speed in a given direction. Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time.

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement( change of distance in a particular direction with respect to time) , and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. ... Also, speed is a scalar quantity but velocity and acceleration are vector quantities.
