The car accelerates an average of 7.5 mph per second. It increases its speed 7.5 mph for every second that it accelerates. The car accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 8 seconds. If we wish to find out how fast it accelerated, we need to divide its acceleration (final speed minus initial speed) by the amount of time that it took to get going that fast. In this case, 60 divided by 8 equals the answer 7.5 mph/sec.

A car starts from rest and reaches 20 ms in 10 seconds The average acceleration of the car in ms2 is?
10
Hits a speed of 50 m s after 5 seconds what is his rate of acceleration?
If he started out from "rest" (zero speed), then his average acceleration for the 5 seconds is50/5 = 10 meters per second2
What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10 seconds to reach 27 meters per seconds from rest?
velocity = acceleration x time 27 = acceleration x 10 acceleration = 2.7 m/sec/sec
If a car starts from rest and after 6 seconds it is moving at 42 ms what is the car's average acceleration?
If a car is moving 42 meters per second after 6 sectons, the average acceletion is 7 meters per second per second. It is an average, given two points of data, and it is not the instantaneous acceleration at any point in time.
What is the acceleration of a ball that starts from rest and rolls down a ramp and gains speed at 25 ms in 5 seconds?
Average acceleration during a time interval = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change) =(25) / (5) = 5 meters per second2
What is the average velocity of the particle from rest to 9 seconds?
The answer will depend on its acceleration.
Is a car accelerates from rest to 27M/S 22.9 seconds what is the average acceleration?
the acceleration of the car is 1.179m/s/s given the formula provided.
A car starts from rest and reaches 20 ms in 10 seconds The average acceleration of the car in ms2 is?
10
Hits a speed of 50 m s after 5 seconds what is his rate of acceleration?
If he started out from "rest" (zero speed), then his average acceleration for the 5 seconds is50/5 = 10 meters per second2
A 873 kg dragster starting from rest attains a speed of 26.3 ms in 0.59 seconds what is the average acceleration of the dragster?
acceleration = (change in velocity) / (change in time) acceleration = ( 26.3 m/s ) / ( 0.59 s ) acceleration = 44.57627119 m/s2 [ANSWER]
What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10 seconds to reach 27 meters per seconds from rest?
velocity = acceleration x time 27 = acceleration x 10 acceleration = 2.7 m/sec/sec
What has more acceleration a car going from 60 to 65 in 2 seconds or a bike going from rest to 5?
if the bike goes from 0-5 in the same amount of time (2 seconds) then they are accelerating at the same rate.
What is the Acceleration of a car that got up to 45 ms from a rest position in 3 seconds?
Velocity at time 0 sec = 0m per sec Velocity at time 3 sec = 45m per sec Acceleration is 45/3 = 15m per sec if the acceleration is uniform
What is the average acceleration of a car that starts at rest and then moves straight ahead reaching 18 meters per second in 12 seconds?
It is accelerating at 1.2m/s per second.
A car starts at rest and attains a velocity of 15 meters per second in 5 seconds what is its acceleration?
The average acceleration is given by the expression a ∆v/∆t (15 m/s)/5s 3m/s2 where a is acceleration, v is velocity, and t is time. ∆ (final-initial) value.
If a car starts from rest and after 6 seconds it is moving at 42 ms what is the car's average acceleration?
If a car is moving 42 meters per second after 6 sectons, the average acceletion is 7 meters per second per second. It is an average, given two points of data, and it is not the instantaneous acceleration at any point in time.
What is the acceleration of a body which starts from rest and travels 87.5 m in 5 seconds?
distance = 1/2 acceleration x time squared; acceleration is 7 m/s/s
