Acceleration and velocity. Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate. In the simplest case, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force. Velocity is quickness of motion or action. ... In physics, velocity specifically refers to the measurement of the rate and direction of change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed of a body and its direction of motion.

Suppose you want to go college which is 5 km far away from your home in 10 min .Then pick up your bike and accelearate from 0 km/hr to 50 km/hr in just 5 second and then remain the velocity of bike constant and then you will reach your destination in perfect time.I think you now get your answer .Rate of change of Displacement is VelocityRate of change of Velocity is Acceleationdx/dt is v whereas dv/dt is a
