Differentiate between acceleration and velocity

Open in App

Solution

BASIS FOR COMPARISON VELOCITY ACCELERATION

Meaning Velocity implies the speed of an object, in the given direction. Acceleration alludes to any change in the velocity of the object with respect to time.

What is it? Rate of change of displacement. Rate of change of velocity.

Ascertains How fast something is moving and in which direction. How fast the moving object's velocity changes with time.

Formula Displacement/time Velocity/time

Unit of measurement m/s m/s^2
