A car has a velocity that changes from 6 meters per second to 16 meters per second in 4 minutes what is the average acceleration of the car?

Magnitude of average acceleration = (change of speed) divided by (time for the change)
Average 'A' = (16 - 6) / 240 seconds = 10/240 = 1/24 meter per second2
-- That's the average over the 4 minutes. We don't know anything about the
value of the acceleration at any particular instant during the 4 minutes..
-- We're working entirely with scalars ... speed, not velocity, and magnitude of
acceleration ... since we don't know anything about the car's direction at any
point in time during the whole event.

What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 meters per second and has been traveling for 2 minutes?
zero - it is constat velocity. so acceleration is zero50 m/s2 Another : The acceleration is ZERO. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity per unit time. If the ball is traveling a constant velocity over a two minute period, the acceleration would be zero since there is no change in velocity.
What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of fifty miles and has been traveling for over 2 minutes?
If an object is traveling at a constant velocity, its acceleration is 0. Even if it traveled for 2 years.
If the speed of an object changes from 121 minutes per second to 98 minutes per second during a time interval of 12 seconds what is the acceleration of the object?
b. -1.92 m/s2Minutes per second is not a unit of velocity. If the question meant meters per second, the answer is correct.
You drove 10 miles to school in 20 minutes Then drove the 10 miles home in 30 minutes your average velocity was?
Velocity = Distance ÷ Time Average Velocity = (10 + 10) ÷ (1/3 + 1/2) = 20 ÷ 5/6 = 20 x 6/5 = 24 mph NOTE : The times in minutes have been converted into fractions of an hour to enable the answer to be provided in miles per hour.
A train starting from rest attains a velocity of 72Km hr in 5 minutes. Assuming that the acceleration is uniform what is the distance travel by train while attained the velocity?
As the acceleration is uniform, the train has an average speed that is half the difference between the start and final velocities, which in this case is half the final velocity. 1 hr = 60 min 1 km/h = 1 km ÷ 1 hr = km ÷ 60 min = 1/60 km/min Distance = velocity × time = (½ × 72 × 1/60 km/min) × (5 min) = 36/60 × 5 km = 3 km
What is the difference between constant velocity and average velocity?
The average velocity is trying to find how fast the car is going at an average rate. However, constant velocity means that the car is going at an unchanged velocity. Say a car is going at 75 m/s and then changes to 50 m/s and then changes to 25 m/s in 30 minutes. The car is going at different velocities at different times. To find the average, you simply just add the 3 together, then divide by 3 giving you, 50 m/s In the 30 minutes, it's average velocity was 50 m/s However, for a car going at a constant velocity, it means that the velocity never changes. Say a car is going at a constant velocity for 30 minutes at 50 m/s. In those 30 minutes, the car will never change it's velocity and remain at 50 m/s. Constant means that it doesn't change.
The velocity of a body was noted to be constant during five minutes of its motion What was its acceleration during this interval?
Acceleration means speeding up or slowing down, a change in velocity. Since the velocity was constant, the acceleration was. 0
What would be the acceleration of a object that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 minutes to the right?
1). If neither speed nor direction are changing, then acceleration is zero.2). "minutes" is not a unit of velocity, but we get the idea
If an object travels for 15 minutes at a constant velocity of 12 miles per hour west what is its acceleration?
Since acceleration is a change in velocity, if your velocity is constant (does not change), your acceleration is zero.
What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 meters per second and has been traveling for 2 minutes?

If the ball is traveling a constant velocity over a two minute period, the acceleration would be zero since there is no change in velocity.
When a ball is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 ms and has been traveling for over 2 minutes what is the balls acceleration?
When something is traveling at a constant velocity it has no acceleration. In other words your answer is 0.

A student walks 0.85 km to class in 5 minutes and then back in 7.1 minutes What is his average velocity?
Since average velocity is total displacement over total time, the answer is 0m/s, because there is no displacement. (Remember, velocity has a direction unlike speed).
What is the differens between average velocity and instant velocity?
Think of average velocity as "overall" velocity. For example, if I walk down the block (let's say it's a distance of 100 meters), and it takes me 5 minutes, my AVERAGE velocity is just:v_ave = Δx/Δtwhere Δx is the change in position and Δt is the elapsed time.v_ave = (100 m) / (5 min)v_ave = (100 m) / (300 sec)v_ave = (1/3) m/sBut instantaneous velocity is a different concept: let's say for a while I walked, then I jogged, then I stopped, then I sprinted, then I walked. The overall trip still ended up taking me 5 minutes, so my average velocity is just as I've calculated it above, but my INSTANTANEOUS velocity changes as I change speeds at any given time in between.Hope this helps!
What is the average velocity in mph of 2.5 miles ran in 15 minutes?
Average speed = Distance/Time = 2.5 miles/15 minutes = 10 miles per hour
What is the measurement for a velocity vs time graph?
There is not an overall measurement, just time is measured in seconds or minutes on the x-axis and velosity on the y-axis however velocity x time is acceleration which is measured in m/s2
