A measure of how fast something is moving

always measured in terms of a unit of distance divided by a unit of time

the distance covered per unit time

Acceleration is defined as the CHANGE in

velocity divided by the time interval

time it takes to move from one place to another place.

distance divided by the time interval

When a car rounds a corner at a constant speed, its acceleration is zero.

Even though a car is slowing down, it is still accelerating, in the most general definition of acceleration.

A ball is thrown into the air. At the highest point, the ball has zero velocity and zero acceleration.

As a ball falls freely, the distance it falls each second is the same.
