What is the centripetal acceleration of an object being swung on a string with a radius of 3 meters at a velocity of 4 meters per second?
Use the formula for centripetal acceleration: velocity squared / radius.
An object's velocity changes from 30 meters per second to 23 meters per second in 3 seconds What is is its acceleration?
-2.33 metres per second squared
What is the velocity of this object after 30 seconds with an acceleration of 7.8 meters per second squared?
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.
If a trucks brakes are applied for 2 seconds giving it acceleration of -3.1 ms2 what will the trucks new speed be in ms?
No starting velocity was given, so I can't give a correct answer, but I can answer part of the question. Given an acceleration and a time through which an object accelerates, you can determine the change in velocity. Acceleration is just the change of velocity over a period of time. Since we have an acceleration of -3.1 meters per second squared, acting for two seconds, we have a change in velocity of -6.2 meters per second. Take the original velocity and subtract 6.2 meters per second to get the answer.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What is the centripetal acceleration of an object being swung on a string with a radius of 3 meters at a velocity of 4 meters per second?
Use the formula for centripetal acceleration: velocity squared / radius.
What are the significant similarities and differences between velocity and acceleration?
The differences are that acceleration refers to the rate of change in velocity of an object while velocity is the rate of displacement of an object, and acceleration is measured in meters per squared seconds while velocity is measured in meters per second. On the other hand, they both use time as a component and they are both vectors in nature.
What is the acceleration of an object?
When a net force acts on that object, there is a change in velocity, and thus acceleration.
An object's velocity changes from 30 meters per second to 23 meters per second in 3 seconds What is is its acceleration?
-2.33 metres per second squared
What is the acceleration downward velocity of a falling object?
Acceleration is constant for any mass. It is 9.8m/s^2 (meters per second squared) everywhere on the earth, as measured from sea level.
What is the velocity of this object after 30 seconds with an acceleration of 7.8 meters per second squared?
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.
Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?
Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.
What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.
The phrase''ten meters per second squared'' describes the?
Acceleration of the object.
If an object travels for 15 minutes at a constant velocity of 12 miles per hour west what is its acceleration?
Since acceleration is a change in velocity, if your velocity is constant (does not change), your acceleration is zero.

Explain how to determine the acceleration of an object if the the force on the object and the mass of the object is known?
Acceleration in meters per second squared is determined by dividing Force by mass: a = F/m
