What is the velocity in meters per second of a sailboat that travels 149m away from the shore in 16.8s?

If in 16.8 second the boat travels 149m then to know how long it travels in 1 second you devide 149 meters by 16.8. This gives you 8.86904761904761904761904761904761... but since it is after all a boat in water and so many factors affect it the answer does not need to be this accurate... 8.86 meters per second is good enough...

If a race car travels on a racetrack at 44 meters per second and slows at a constant rate to a velocity of 22 meters per second over 11 seconds how far does it move in this time?
363m
What is the centripetal acceleration of an object being swung on a string with a radius of 5 meters at a velocity of 4 meters a second?
Use the formula a = v2 / r, with v = velocity (speed, actually) in meters/second, r = radius in meters. The answer will be in meters per square second.
Is there a difference between meters per second and meters?
Yes. The first is a speed (or velocity), the second is a distance.
If a car travels 3.2 meters in 7.256 seconds what is the average velocity?
The average velocity is calculated by finding the distance traveled and dividing by the time it took to go that far. In high school, many people learn rate x time= distance. The rate is the average velocity.In this case we have 3.2/7.256=.441013 meters per second. Note the units are meters and seconds so the velocity we have it meters per second. We can convert this to any other units once we have this. Much as mile or meters per hour.
You throw a ball straight up with a velocity of 40 meters per second What is the ball's velocity after 5 seconds?
it is 10 meters per second straight down
What is the average velocity of an object that travels 6 meters north in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters east in 1 second?
3.00 m/s
How far does an object travel if its velocity is 25.5 meters per second north and it travels 85 seconds?
Distance = Velocity*Time = 25.5*85 metres = 2167.5 metres.

What is acceleration and its si unit?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes. Therefore, its units are naturally (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes.

What is the average acceleration of car if it travels in a straight line in one minute and it attains a velocity of 40 meters second second and it finally?
There is not enough information to answer the question. The initial velocity of the car is not given. Also, the "it finally" at the end of the question does not make sense.
What is the velocity of a bicycle in meters per second if it travels 1 kilometers west in 4.1 minutes?
1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. 4.1 minutes is equal to 246 seconds. Velocity would equal 1000 meters divided by 246 seconds. So the answer is 4.065 meters per second West.
What do you understand by channel of constant velocity?
The channel of constant velocity means that it is moving along a straigh line, and as every second of time goes by, the object travels through the same number of meters or we can say that it travels equal displacements per equal time intervals. Y.N.Rajesh........................
What is the velocity when falling 1000 meters?
Ther velocity when falling 1000 meters is v=sqroot(2x1000x9.8) = 140 meters/second.
Why the time twice in unit acceleration?
An acceleration is not a velocity - it is the rate of change of velocity. In SI units, the units of velocity are meters/second. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, per unit time - how fast the velocity changes. Therefore, its units are velocity / time. In SI units, this gives you (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.
