Best Answer

40 mph/5 sec = 8 mph per second.

That happens to be within a few percent of the gravitational acceleration on

the surface of Mars. In other words, if you dropped Mike onto Mars from a

small distance above the surface, his descent rate would go from zero to

40 mph in about 5 seconds. Whereas, in the same 5 seconds spent falling

to Earth, his descent rate would go from zero to almost 110 mph.

A motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds what is its acceleration in miles per hour per second?

20 miles/hour/second The acceleration is simple division 60/3 = 20.


What is the acceleration of a car that goes form 0 miles per second to 25 miles per second in 3 seconds?

Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)Acceleration = (25 - 0)/(3) = 81/3 miles per second2Don't try this at home. That acceleration is about 1,368 G's. You can not survive it!


A car accelerates to pass a truck going from 20miles per second to 29miles per second in 3 seconds what was the acceleration?

So acceleration is an increase of speed every second. The increase of speed was 9miles/sec and this was over 3 seconds. Therefore there was an acceleration of 3 miles/second every second i.e. 3m/s2
