Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then. acceleration is zero. Note: 100 km per h for 10 seconds is a constant speed, but not necessarily a constant. velocity, since we're told nothing about the direction.
In measuring the acceleration of a vehicle, time is usually the independent variable, while speed is the dependent variable. This is because when taking measurements, times are usually predetermined, and the resulting speed of the vehicle is recorded at those times. As far as the experiment is concerned, the speed is dependent on the time. Since the decision is made to measure the speed at certain times, time is the independent variable.
