Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 2/5
Acceleration = 0.4 meters per second2 north
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. If the car moves in a perfectly straight line during those 10 seconds, then its velocity is constant. If it makes a curve, then its velocity is not constant even though its speed is, and there is acceleration.
IF it started out from rest, then V = a t = (7.8 x 30) = 234 meters per secondin the direction of the acceleration, at the end of 30 seconds.
what is the change in speed or velocity? average acceleration will be change in speed or velocity divided by time taken (4 seconds in ur case)
(change in velocity)/(change in time)=avg. acceleration (-30 m/s)/(15s)= -2 m/s2
If velocity is steady and doesn't change, then there is 0 acceleration.

acceleration is the change in velocity by change in time (often meters/second/second). so, if a car was travelling 10m/s and ten seconds later, it is travelling 20m/s in the same direction, the acceleration would be (20m/s-10m/s)/10s=1m/s/s. with a constant velocity the change in velocity is zero (x m/s - x m/s)/y s=0m/s/s and acceleration is also zero.
Answer This occurs when an object istraveling in one direction but has an acceleration in the opposite direction, which means it is decreasing in speed. For a given period of time, the speed has decreased. Acceleration is the change of velocity per second. T1 = 5 seconds V1 = 100mph T2 = 10 seconds V2= 50 mph Acceleration = (V2 - V1 ) / (T2 - T1) = (50-100)/(10-5) = -10 ft/sec/sec Positive(+) acceleration means an object will be going faster over an interval of time.
Acceleration occurs when velocity changes over time. The formula for it is as follows: a = (Vf - Vi) / t a: acceleration (meters/seconds2) Vf: Final velocity (meters/seconds) Vi: Initial Velocity (meters/seconds) t: Time (seconds)
Yes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.
Speed is the rate of motion usually expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.Velocity is the rate of change of position. Both speed and direction are required. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. In common speech, acceleration is only for an increase in speed; a decrease in speed is deceleration. In physics, any increase or decrease in speed or change of direction is referred to as acceleration.

The rate of change of velocity in a particular direction per unit second is acceleration. Let us assume a body is moving at a speed v' in particular direction, say north, and in t seconds, its velocity increases/decreases to v". So the acceleration is, a=(v"~v')/t
IF it started out from rest, then V = a t = (7.8 x 30) = 234 meters per secondin the direction of the acceleration, at the end of 30 seconds.

Acceleration= distance / velocity squared
If the car doesn't change direction during that 100 seconds, then it's zero. If the car's direction changes, then the acceleration isn't zero, but the question doesn't give any information from which to evaluate it.
(change in velocity)/(change in time)=avg. acceleration (-30 m/s)/(15s)= -2 m/s2
