What is one similarity to speed velocity acceleration?

Speed, velocity, and acceleration all have momentum.


Are speed and acceleration the same?

No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.


What are the importance of speed velocity and acceleration in sports?

what are important speed, velocity and acceleration in several sports


What are the types of speed?

Speed and velocity. Speed is when you travel in a straight line, whereas velocity is when there is a change of direction. There is of cause acceleration which is an increase in speed, but even so the above two still apply.


What does acceleration have to do with velocity?

Velocity is speed in a given direction Acceleration is the rate in which you change velocity.


How are acceleration and speed alike?

They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.


What is acceleration speed and velocity?

Speed is (distance covered) divided by (time taken to cover the distance).Velocity is a speed and its direction.Acceleration is any change of velocity.


How is speed velocity and acceleration alike?

Acceleration is the derivative of velocity. In other words, acceleration is the rate at which the velocity is changing.


Is it speed acceleration velocity when a softball is hit into the outfield?

In that case, you have all three - speed, acceleration, velocity.


Why is the velocity 0 when your speed is constant?

It's not. If you speed is constant (but not zero), then your velocity won't be zero, either.You may be confusing this with the following: If your VELOCITY (not your speed) is constant, then your ACCELERATION is zero. Acceleration refers to how quickly velocity changes, so if velocity doesn't change at all, acceleration is zero.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?

If a velocity or speed is constant there isn't an acceleration. This is because the acceleration is the change in speed or velocity and if it's constant then there sn't a change.


How is increasing speed acceleration?

By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
