What is the Distinction Between Velocity and Acceleration ?



Here in this post we'll talk about the distinction between velocity and acceleration. Just like speed and velocity, acceleration and velocity has got some difference too. Though they seems to be the same thing. After reading this post you'll have a clear idea of this two... :)

Velocity 

  1. If the time interval approaches zero, the rate of change of displacement with time is called velocity.
  2. Unit of velocity is metre/sec (ms^-1)
  3. Dimension of velocity = (LT^-1)
  4. If force is not applied on a moving body, it travels at uniform velocity along a straight time.

Acceleration

  1. If the time interval approaches zero, the rate of change of velocity with time is called acceleration.
  2. Unit of acceleration is metre/sec^2 (ms^-2)
  3. Dimension of acceleration = [LT^-2]
  4. If force does not act on a moving body it will have no acceleration
Here's video for you, it will help you learn this topic in a much better way. Credit goes to Mr. Anderson. :)
