I thought there were a few differnces yesterday. For example when we did our lab yesterday with logger pro one time it tested acceleration and one time it tested velocity. Velocity was moved more easily on the graph.

There were many differences. The velocity rates moved a lot quicker and you had to be very steady. The acceleration had to be done quickly or at a higher speed.

Acceleration is just how fast you go from one speed to the next. Velocity is the speed you are actually moving at. The graphs appear quite different.

Velocity rates moved a lot faster on the graphs. You also had to move very quickly when dealing with acceleration.

They are totally different. Aceleration is the rate at which speed increases. Velocity is the rate and direction that an object is traveling.
