That is called acceleration.
Scalar acceleration.
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
No, speed can vary and one can still calculate the average speed of an entire trip. Average speed is equal to the change in distance divided by the change in time.
Distance divided by time is the formula for speed. Distance = speed by time also
Time = (distance) divided by (speed) Distance = (speed) multiplied by (time) Speed = (distance) divided by (time)
Acceleration
Scalar acceleration.
No. An acceleration is not a speed. It is a rate of change of speed - that is, a change of speed, divided by the time it takes to change the speed.
a = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
Accerleration
the slope of a speed-time graph is acceleration this slope is change in speed divided by change in time *Twinky~
No. It's the (change in speed) divided by the (change in time), plus it really ought to have the direction of the change stated also.
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
A change in speed divided by time is called acceleration. If the acceleration is negative, it is called deceleration. Technically, acceleration is the first derivative of velocity, and velocity comprises both speed and direction. Even more technically, the limit of the delta change in speed (velocity) divided by delta time, as the delta time approaches zero, is the acceleration. Finally, by Newton's Second Law of Motion, acceleration is force divided by mass, so it is also true that a change in speed divided by time is force divided by mass.
Answer: speed divided by time Answer: Acceleration = dv/dt, that is, the rate of change of velocity, with respect to time. In other words, how fast does velocity change.
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time interval)
