well we know that we have two speeds and a time. So,
initial speed = 80
final speed = 60
change in time = 6
Now acceleration in this case will be measured in kilometers per hour per second (i.e. every x seconds, y kilometers per hour are gained in speed)
So we simply apply the formula
Acceleration = (final speed - initial speed)/ change in time
= (80 - 60)/6
= 20/6
= 3.6666667 km/h/s
If you want to have that in meters per second square, convert the speed to meters per second (divide by 3.6 in this case). Then, divide the speed by the time.
what is the change in speed or velocity? average acceleration will be change in speed or velocity divided by time taken (4 seconds in ur case)
Divide the difference in speed by the time. You must convert the speed difference into meters/second (dividing km/h by 3.6).
Assuming that your units of velocity are in units/second Acceleration = (velocity 2 - velocity 1) / time Acceleration = (4.9 - 0) / 3 Acceleration =1.63 *With correct significant figures the answer is 2
Assuming that acceleration is constant during that time, just divide the change in speed by the time.

Acceleration is when speed increases. Deceleration is when speed decreases.
If you want to have that in meters per second square, convert the speed to meters per second (divide by 3.6 in this case). Then, divide the speed by the time.
stamina
Average acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)= (80) / (20) = 4 meters per second2

It is the velocity that increases.
The rate that your speed increases or decreases.
It is the acceleration.

No. In a vacuum, all objects fall with the same constant acceleration, meaning that their speed constantly increases. Near the surface of the earth, the speed of any falling object increases by 32.2 feet (9.8 meters) per second every second. These numbers represent the "acceleration of gravity" at the earth's surface.
Divide the difference in speed by the time. You must convert the speed difference into meters/second (dividing km/h by 3.6).
