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

A car travels 30 m in 5 sec after accelerating for 3 seconds it travels 20 m in 2 seconds Calulate the cars acceleration?
First you need to find the two different speeds of the car which is the distance/time. We find that the car first travels at an average of 6ms-1 and then after accelerating has a speed of 10ms-1. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, our change of velocity being 10-6=4ms-1 and the change in time being stated as 3 seconds we can convert this into... (4/3)ms-2
A car travels 20 meters to 60 meters in 10 seconds Calculate the cars speed?
If a car travels 200 meters in 10 seconds what is the speed of the car
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
If a car travels at 30 miles in a hour and a half what is the cars speed?
Just divide distance by time to get speed.30 miles / 1.5 hrs = 20 MPH
If a cars velocity changes from 0 ms to 30 ms 10 seconds later its average acceleration is?
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (change in time) = (30 m/s) / (10 sec) = 3 meters per second2

If a car travels 30 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes what is the cars speed?
.66667 miles per hour
How are acceleration and speed different?
Well speed and acceleration are very different but can be related. Speed is how fast something is going, like 60 miles per hour. Acceleration on the other hand is how fast an object increases, or even decreases speed. Now to apply this practically, if you've ever gotten a ride on a school bus you would notice something different about the way the bus. People often call buses slow but in reality, the bus can reach the same speeds as most normal cars. The difference is that buses take longer to get to that speed. Thus they have a slower acceleration. A normal car can get to 60 miles per hour in about 10 seconds, but a bus may take 15 seconds. So the cars can travel at the same speed, but the car has a faster acceleration.
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 a cars acceleration if it increases its speed from 5 to 20 in 3 seconds?
Acceleration = change in speed/time = (20-5)/3 = 15/3 = 5 units of speed per second. It is not possible to be any more precise because the unit of speed (kilometres per hour, miles per hour, metres per second) is unspecified.
