* Velocity is a measure of how fast something is moving and in what direction.
* Acceleration tells you how quickly that velocity is changing.
Think of it like this:
* Speeding up: You are accelerating (positive acceleration).
* Slowing down: You are also accelerating (negative acceleration, also called deceleration).
* Changing direction (even at a constant speed): You are accelerating because your velocity is changing direction.
In summary: Acceleration is not just the change in velocity itself, but how fast that change is happening over time.
