How long to travel by boat 2110 nautical miles at 10 knots per hour?
1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hourtime = distance ÷ speed= 2110 nautical miles / 10 nautical miles/hour= 211 hours= 8 days 19 hours.As 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour: a unit of speed, 1 knot per hour would be a rate of change of speed, ie an acceleration.
What is the difference between Average Speed and Instantaneous Speed?
Suppose you accelerate in your car from stopped to 50 km.hr-1. When you were stopped your instantaneous speed was zero. At the end of the period of acceleration your instantaneous speed was 50 km.hr-1. If your rate of acceleration was constant then your average speed was 25 km.hr-1.
What is the formula for distance traveled in acceleration?
If starting from rest, Distance = 1/2 (acceleration) x (time)2 . Otherwise, Distance = 1/2 (initial speed + final speed) x (time)
What is the average acceleration of a car goes form 0 to 60 mph in 2.1 seconds?
Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = (60 - 0) / (2.1) = 28.571 miles per hour per second, or 41.905 feet per second2 Using: (1 mile / hour - second) x (5,280- ft / mile) / (3,600 second / hour) = 1.4666 ft/sec2
What is the acceleration of an object that travels 8 meters in 1 second 8 meters in the 2nd second and 8 meters in the 3rd second?
Acceleration is the increase in speed from one unit of time to the next, so the described object has no acceleration. Its speed is constant.
If a dog begins walking at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour After 1 hour the dog is walking at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour Which is this an example of?
-- negative average acceleration -- fatigue
How does a knot compare to a G?
These two are measurements of completely different things. A Knot is a measurement of speed (1 Knot = 1 Nautical mile/hour) and a G is the measuremet of gravity (1G = the natural force of gravity)

Is 1 G (Acceleration) at 600 Rpm the same as 3 G at 1800 Rpm?
That depends what you want to compare. In any case, 3G is more acceleration than 1G.
What is the difference between Average Speed and Instantaneous Speed?
Suppose you accelerate in your car from stopped to 50 km.hr-1. When you were stopped your instantaneous speed was zero. At the end of the period of acceleration your instantaneous speed was 50 km.hr-1. If your rate of acceleration was constant then your average speed was 25 km.hr-1.
Can the final speed be less then the acceleration Ex a baseball goes from 0 to 36 meters per second in half a second could the acceleration be 72?
Certainly. The figures in the question are correct. Acceleration of 72 m/s2 results in speed of 36 m/s after 1/2 sec.Similarly . . . the final distance can easily be less than the speed. Example: You can drive 100 mphand wind up only 5 miles away, if you drive for 1/20th of an hour.
Which is larger 1g or 1cg?
1 gram or 1 cg
How many g's would you feel going the speed of light?
It takes a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time! You're at "1g" when you're just sittin' around - 1g being 1x of the force of gravity. So at 1g, you're not really accelerating at all.Lets do the math and start with 1 g equal to 32 feet per second. Light speed equals 186,000 miles per second. It will take approximately 78 years to reach light speed.But there seems to be an error in these calculations! 32 feet per second is NOT an acceleration, but a constant velocity, so after 78 years you would still be at 32 ft per second!!! The term 1-G refers to the constant acceleration of EARTH gravity, that is 32 ft per second (squared) at sea level!!!!!! Now at that acceleration it would take about 51.7 weeks to reach light speed, that is if I used the acceleration calculator correctly. Good question though!
What is the speed for 50 miles in 1 hour?
That speed is described as "fifty miles per hour".
What is the formula for distance traveled in acceleration?
If starting from rest, Distance = 1/2 (acceleration) x (time)2 . Otherwise, Distance = 1/2 (initial speed + final speed) x (time)
How much is the acceleration of a baseball thrown if the ball goes from 0 to 90 mph in a one-second time period?
Acceleration is change of speed / time, so in this case you have 90 miles per hour per second. While this is a valid unit of acceleration (a unit of distance divided by two time units), you may want to convert this to other units. Reminder: 1 hour = 3600 second; and 1 mile = 5280 feet.
How long would it take to reach the speed of light accelerating at one gravity?
1g is not a measure of speed. It may refer to 1 times the acceleration caused by gravity - but this is an acceleration, not a speed. It is about 9.8 meters per second per second, meaning that under normal gravity, the speed of a falling object increases by 9.8 meters/second every second.
