    We know, but also neither are acceleration and the magnitude of acceleration the same. Acceleration is a vector - it has a direction just as velocity does. Here’s the definition I just copied from Google:

    Acceleration: the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

    And here’s how you write that in math:

    a=∆v/∆t.

    If you want to know more about the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration, take a calculus class. Isaac Newton literally invented it to solve problems like this
