Can meters per second per second be considered a vector quantity?
Yes, meters per second per second (m/s^2) can be considered a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (speed increase) and direction (acceleration). The direction of acceleration defines the direction in which the velocity of an object is changing.
Why are the units for acceleration meters per second?
Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.
What is meant by an acceleration of -2 ms2?
An acceleration of -2 m/s^2 means that the velocity of an object is decreasing by 2 meters per second every second. The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.
What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a constant velocity of 20 meters per second?
-- "Acceleration" is any change of velocity.-- "Velocity" is a speed and its direction.-- "20 meters per second" is a speed, not a velocity, because it doesn't mention a direction.-- We don't have enough information to say anything about that car's acceleration.If, for example, it happens to be moving at a constant speed of 20 meters per secondon a circular track, then it has plenty of acceleration.
A car traveling at 8 meters per second due north speeds up to 10 meters per second in the same direction If it takes the car 5 seconds to change its velocity what is the car's acceleration?
Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 2/5 Acceleration = 0.4 meters per second2 north
What is expressed in meters per second per second?
It is acceleration that is measured in distance per unit of time per unit time, or in meters per second per second, as the question asked. The only thing missing is the direction vector.
What is the value in meters per second squared of the acceleration of gravity in a decimal?
The acceleration of gravity is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared.
How much force is needed to accelerate a 1 kilogram toy car at a rate of 2 meters per second south?
Force is mass times acceleration. Assuming you mean an acceleration of 2 meters per second per second the force is 1 x 2 = 2N, south direction
The phrase ten meters per second squareddescribes the?
10 meters/second2 refers to an acceleration. It is the same as 10 (meters/second) / second, and means that every second, the speed changes by 10 meters/second.
What is the velocity of this object after 30 seconds with an acceleration of 7.8 meters per second squared?
IF it started out from rest, then V = a t = (7.8 x 30) = 234 meters per secondin the direction of the acceleration, at the end of 30 seconds.
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 a change in speed or direction or both?
Acceleration is the term used to describe a change in speed, direction, or both. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or changing direction. Acceleration is measured in units such as meters per second squared (m/s^2).
