Question

Difference between acceleration and speed and velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed is the rate of change of distance(basically how much distance(m) has been covered in a particular time(s)). 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.(Amount of increase or decrease in velocity). Also, speed is a scalar quantity but velocity and acceleration are vector quantities.

Answer 2

Explanation:

acceleration is rate of change of instantaneous velocity

1.a=dv/dt

2.it is a vector quantity

speed is equal to distance traveled by time

1.v=d/t

2.it is a scalar quantity

1.velocity is the speed of something in a given direction.

2 it is a vector quantity
