Slowly press on the accelerator to go more quickly. Slowly press down on the brake pedal to go more slowly. These two operations can safely change a car's velocity.

What is a cars acceleration if it travels 0 to 55 miles per hour in 6 seconds?
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Change in Time a = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Final Time - Initial Time) = (55-0)/(5-0) = 55/5 a = 11 m/s^2
How do you find acceleration using velocity and time?
Acceleration = (change in velocity) divided by (time for the change)
What does velocity divided by the time interval equal?
It equals an undefined entity. The average acceleration of an object equals the CHANGE in velocity divided by the time interval. The term "change in velocity" is not the same as the term "velocity", "average velocity", or "instantaneous velocity".
If a car traveling at 30meters per second slows to a stop in 15 seconds what was the cars acceleration?
(change in velocity)/(change in time)=avg. acceleration (-30 m/s)/(15s)= -2 m/s2
What is the rate of change of position at a specific point in time?
The rate of change of position is the velocity. The velocity at a specific point in time is called the instantaneous velocity.
When a cars velocity is uniform what it is acceleration?
Acceleration is change of velocity divided by time; so if the velocity doesn't change, acceleration is zero.
Rate of change of the velocity of an object?
The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
What is a cars acceleration if it travels 0 to 55 miles per hour in 6 seconds?
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Change in Time a = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Final Time - Initial Time) = (55-0)/(5-0) = 55/5 a = 11 m/s^2
Under what circumstances can an object move in a circular path without being accelerated?
It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.
What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?
A change in velocity constitutes a change in direction because velocity includes direction.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
What is a change in velocity in given period of time?
Change in velocity = Velocity at the end of the period minus velocity at the start of the period.
Is Velocity any change in motion?
Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity is a change in speed and or direction. I am not sure what motion means in a technical sense (velocity?).
How does a change in speed change velocity?
due to acceleration the speed and velocity will change automatically
Can acceleration and velocity be the same?
No. Velocity is the change of location and accelarion is any change that occurs to the velocity of an object.
Measures the changes in velocity?
A change in velocity is acceleration, so a accelerometer
Acceleration is the change of velocity?
Yes. To be more precise, the rate of change of velocity - how fast the velocity changes.
