Acceleration close accelerationThe rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken. is the rate of change of velocity. It ...

Physics can feel inscrutable to students; this lesson helps them understand a graphing problem by analyzing their own ...

A horizontal line means the object is moving at a constant speed. The gradient of the line = the rate of change of speed. The steeper the line, the greater the increase in speed. The area under the ...

Difference between Speed and Velocity: Speed and velocity are the most basic concepts from Physics. They form the part of your Physics textbook right from early classes when Physics is introduced as a ...

Have you ever thought speed and velocity mean the same thing? Many people do. They often use these words as if they are alike. But in science, they are not the same. Speed tells us how fast something ...

But what is the difference? If you ask any person on the street, they might say there is no difference. In non-physics use, they would be correct. However, in physics we have very specific definitions ...
