Since , V = u + at,
we get , a = v - u /t
= 402.3 - 0 /9.013
= 44.6355264617 ms-2
Therefore, acceleration = 44.6355264617 ms-2

How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
How do you calculate velocity final with distance and acceleration?
aSsuming constant acceleration, and movement along a line, use the formula: vf2 = vi2 + (1/2)at2 (final speed squared equals initial speed squared plus one-half times acceleration times time squared).
If a rock is dropped and it's speed increases from 0 to 4.9 in about 3 seconds. what is the acceleration?
Assuming that your units of velocity are in units/second Acceleration = (velocity 2 - velocity 1) / time Acceleration = (4.9 - 0) / 3 Acceleration =1.63 *With correct significant figures the answer is 2
How do you find the time from acceleration and distance?
You can use the formula for distance covered:distance = (initial velocity) x (time) + (1/2) (acceleration) (time squared) Solve for time. This assumes constant acceleration, by the way. If you assume that the initial velocity is zero, then you can omit the first term on the right. This makes the equation especially easy to solve.
Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time if a runner increases velocity from 2 m s to 4 m s over a period of 20 seconds what is the acceleration?
Assuming that acceleration is constant during that time, just divide the change in speed by the time.
Why car still accelerates after slowing down?
Acceleration is a change in velocity. Assuming a constant direction, if you're speeding up that is positive acceleration. If you are slowing down, that's negative acceleration. Either way you are accelerating.

How do you calculate the height an object reaches using only time and acceleration g?
Assuming (a) an initial velocity of zero, and (b) constant acceleration, the formula becomes: distance = 0.5 at2 (distance = 1/2 times acceleration times time squared).
In a grocery store you push a 12.3kg shopping cart with a force of 10.1N. If the cart starts at rest how far does it move in 2.5s (assuming no friction from the floor. Hint calculate the acceleration?
You push a 12.3 kg shopping cart with a force of 10.1 N. a) What is the acceleration of the cart.
How does mass affect accelaration?
From the formula force = mass x acceleration, if there is more mass, there will be less acceleration. Assuming the force doesn't also change.From the formula force = mass x acceleration, if there is more mass, there will be less acceleration.

How do you calculate same acceleration given force and weight?
Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration, or acceleration = force / mass. NOTE: That's the MASS, not the weight. If you really know an object's weight (in newton), you need to divide by 9.8 first (assuming standard gravity), to get its mass in kilograms.
What is the radial acceleration of the planet mercury?
I guess you mean the centripetal acceleration in its orbit around the Sun. That's not something that will usually be found in references such as the Wikipedia, but you can calculate it in several ways. 1) Use the law of gravitation to calculate the force between an object of mass 1 kg. at Mercury's distance from the Sun, and the Sun. Any other mass will do as well, but after calculating the force, you need to calculate the acceleration, so the mass of Mercury (or another object at the same distance) cancels in the calculation. 2) Look up Mercury's orbital data. Assuming a circular orbit, calculate the centripetal acceleration as v2/r.
If the force from the engine is bigger than the force of the air resistance?
The vehicle accelerates, assuming the engine is in a vehicle.
What is the relationship of acceleration to gravity?
Gravity produces acceleration on an object, assuming that no other force acts on the object.
Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?
Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
What happens to the acceleration if the force applied is increased three times?
Assuming the mass remains constant, the acceleration will be tripled as well.
