Rule:
Magnitude of acceleration = Change of velocity / Time interval
In linear motion, magnitude of acceleration is the measurement of change in speed in speed per unit time. For example: A car reaches a speed of 20 miles per second in 4 seconds, the magnitude of acceleration is 5 miles per second.
a = 20 miles/second divided by 4 seconds = 5 miles per second.
Acceleration is a vector, which means it has magnitude and direction. To describe accelerated motion completely, the direction also needs to be included. So it would be 5 miles per second in whatever direction it is going.

What is magnitude of acceleration?
magnitude of acceleration=change of velocity/time invertal
Rate of change of speed?
magnitude of acceleration
When radius and height and distance is given how to find magnitude of centripetal acceleration?
There is no information that shows any relationship with time. Since acceleration is a variable related to time, it is impossible to answer the question.
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
What does slope of velocity-time graph represent?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
