Activity 1.3: Velocity vs. Acceleration Directions: Make a Venn Diagram with similarities and differences between velocity and acceleration. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Acceleration Velocity
-discribes how position changes; acceleration describes how velocity changes.Two layers of change!
-Compared to displacement and velocity,
acceleration is like the angry,fire breathing dragon of motion variables.It can be violent;some people are scared of it;and if it's big;it forces ypu take notice.That feeling you get when you're sitting a plane during take-off kr slamming on the brakes in a car, or turning a corner at a high speed in a go kart are all situations where you are accelerating.
VELOCITY
-The velocity of an object is the RATE OF CHANGE of it's POSITION with respect to a FRAME OF REFERENCE,and is a function of time.
Velocity of equivalent to a specification of an object's SPEED and direction of MOTION.(e.g.60km/h to the north).Velocity is a fundamental concept in KINEMATIKS,the branch of CLASSICAL MECHANICS that describes the motion of bodies.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCELERATION AND VELOCITY:
-Velocity and acceleration both use speed as a starting point in their measurements.Speed which is the measurement of distance traveled over a period of time is a SCALAR quantity.Both velocity and acceleration are VECTOR quantities,meaning that they use both magnitudes and a specified direction.
˙•VELOCITY-the rate of displacement of a moving object over time.
•ACCELERATION-the rate of velocity over time.
