What is an acceleration of negative 20 meters per second squared?

A negative acceleration has the affect of decreasing the velocity of the moving object.
If a plane is climbing at a speed of 100 meters per second and is subject to an acceleration of -20 meters per sec2 then after 1 second it's climbing speed will reduce to 80 mps, after 2 seconds to 60 mps .....and so on.
This is illustrated by the law of motion v = u + ft, where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, f is the acceleration and t is the time.
How long does it take the plane to reach a zero climbing velocity.
v = u + ft : 0 = 100 -20t : 20t = 100 : t = 5 seconds, which can be easily verified from the example a few lines above.

What is 9.8m divided by s squared?
9.8 meters per second squared is the acceleration of gravity.
What is the acceleration of a sprinter that runs a race in 12 seconds and finishes the race traveling 24 meters per second?
The sprinter's acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.
What are the units of acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity per unit of time. Velocity is distance (d) per unit of time (t). That makes acceleration distance per unit of time squared, or something like this:We have distance/time2, or d/t2Distance is commonly measured in meters, and time in seconds. This makes acceleration appear in meters per second per second, or meters per second squared, or m/sec2.m/s2meters per second squared
Why is acceleration often expressed with units of meters per second squared?
Because if speed is measured in meters per second (m/s) and time is measured in seconds, the SI unit of acceleration is meters per second per second (m/s2). ^_^
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 SI unit of negative acceleration?
The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared. This applies to ANY acceleration.
What is the mean of 2g?
g is a measurement of acceleration namely 9.8 meters per second squared. When there is an acceleration of 2g then simply multiply 9.8 meters per second squared times 2 or 19.6 meters per second squared.
What is the rate of acceleration of a body on the earth?
The acceleration of a body on the earth is 9.8 meters per second squared, or 32.2 feet per second squared. If this is for calculations of some type, it is most likely negative because it is a downward acceleration. Hope this helps. ~Skularach
In what units is acceleration expressed a newtons b foot pounds c kilograms d meters per second squared?
Assuming you want the international units: time: second velocity: meters / second distance: meters acceleration: meters / second2
Why do we a use the units meters per second squared when we talk about acceleration?
For every second of acceleration the velocity is increased by that acceleration.
What is an accurate statement of an acceleration value translated from symbols into words 3 meters per second 3 meters per second squared 3 squared meters per second 3 meters in 3 se?
Acceleration is a change in speed, measured per second and so would be meters per second per second or meters per second squared.
What does the phrase ten meters per second squared describes?
Ten meters per second squared, or ten meters per second per second is the term used for acceleration. In this case it is referring to the acceleration caused by gravity. If you were on the top of a steep cliff and threw a ball over the side, it would accelerate at 10 meters per second squared. So after 10 meters is would be going 20 meters a second.
What is 9.8m divided by s squared?
9.8 meters per second squared is the acceleration of gravity.
Ten meters per second squared describes what?
The acceleration of gravity.
What is the acceleration of gravity on earth equation?
9.8 meters/second squared
What is the value in meters per second squared of the acceleration of gravity in a decimal?
9.8 meters per second square
How do you label acceleration?
meters per second per second OR meters per second squared. They are both the same this, but meteres per second squared is easier to write.
