0 to 60 mph= 60*0.447 m/s=26.8 m/s in 15 sec

maximum acceleration of car:

26.8/15=1.8 m/s^2

0 to 55 mph= 55*0.447 m/s=24.6 m/s within 268 meters

a=24.6^2/2*268=1.13

This acceleration is less than the maximum possible acceleration, so the car can reach 55 m/s in 268 meters.

How fast is a skydiver after falling 3 seconds if they accelerate at 10 meters per second?

The acceleration is expressed in meters per second square, which really means (meters / second) / second. Every second, the skydiver will be 10 meters per second faster than the previous second. Therefore, after 3 seconds, he will have a speed of 30 meters per second.


How do you calculate the speed of AA free falling object?

That depends what data you are given. Close to the Earth's surface, such an object will accelerate at 9.8 meters/second2, so if it starts from rest, after "n" seconds, it will have a speed of "9.8n" meters/second.


What force is applied to an object if the duration of the force is 8 seconds an the object is uniformly accelerated from rest to 6 meters per second?

You can't tell from the information given. All you know is that the average acceleration is (change in speed) divided by (time for the change) = (6/8) = 0.75 meters per second2. The force required depends on the mass of the object to be accelerated by the force.

Which is faster 50 meters in 10 seconds or 30 meters in 5 seconds?

50 meters in 10 seconds is faster. you go 5 meters per second in 50 meters per second, and you go 6 meters a second in 5 seconds..


A sprinter can accelerate with constant acceleration for 3.40 s before reaching top speed He can run the 100-meter dash in 10 s?

1/2a(3.4)^2+[3.4a(a=0)](6.6)=100 [] is Vi and a in this case is 0 at it stops to accelerate when it gets to 3.4s so a=100/(.5)(3.4)^2....=17.30 now Vf=(3.4*17.30)+17.30(6.6)...=173.01
