Velocity is the constant distance that is traveled by a body per unit of time. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity can change. On a straight highway, you put your car under cruise at 65mph. The car travels (except for the imperfections on the road) at this constant speed. The speedometer stays almost at 65. That is as close an example I can give you for velocity. On the other hand you enter a highway from a ramp, you usually press on the accelerator hard to gain speed to merge into fast moving traffic. The speedometer rapidly changes from say 10mph to 20mph to 23 mph.... and so on and this is acceleration.

What are the difference between velocity and acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
What are some differences and similarities between acceleration and velocity?
Velocity is distance over time, Acceleration is velocity with a direction.
What is the difference between Velocity and Acceleration of an object?
Velocity is the rate of change of distance with time, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
What is the difference between uniform and variable velocity?
Uniform velocity is velocity unaffected by acceleration. Variable velocity is velocity affected by acceleration. Lauren "Physics above all!"
What is the difference between acceleration and velocity?
-- 'Velocity' is the rate at which position is changing, and the direction of the change. -- 'Acceleration' is the rate at which velocity is changing, and the direction of the change.
What is the realtionship between velocity and acceleration?

When you press your bicycle's brakeswhat happens to your speedvelocityand acceleration?
your seed,velocity,and acceleration will be slow When you brake, your acceleration increases (!), your velocity decreases (and in this case, there is no difference between velocity and speed). Negative acceleration increases when braking a moving bike.
What is the differnece between speed acceleration and velocity?
Velocity is the change in displacement in a unit time in a specific direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and has no direction. Acceleration is the change in velocity in a unit time.
What is the different between velocity and acceleration?
Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.
