Best Answer

Acceleration = Change in Velocity over time

a = (v-v0)/t

In this case, v = 60 mph and t = 6 s

So a = (60mph)/(6s) which is 10 miles per hour per second. (This is 36000 miles per hour per hour, or 36,000 miles per hour squared [36000 m/h2.)

How does constant velocity differ from constant acceleration?

Constant velocity is a measure of distance traveled per unit of time at a uniform speed, such as miles per hour or feet per second. Constant acceleration is a measure of a continuing increase in velocity per unit of time, as when a car speeds up from 30 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour in 5 seconds, then from 40 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour during the next 5 seconds. It will then have had a constant acceleration of 10 miles per hour per 5 seconds.


A race car driver speeds up from 60 miles per hour to 90 miles per hour in 3 seconds what was her acceleration in mphsec?

acceleration =(90-60)/(3)=10 mphs=10 mile per hour sec Ahmad Jordan


What is the average speed of a car that speeds up from 60 miles per hour to 70 miles per hour in 8 seconds?

The answer depends on whether the rate of acceleration is uniform. There is no indication in the question that it is.

What is a car doing if it has an acceleration of -10 miles per hour squared?

The car is slowing down at a rate of 10 miles per hour for each hour it continues this rate.


A race car driver speeds up from 60 miles per hour to 90 miles per hour in 3 seconds What was his acceleration in sec?

Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)= (30 mile/hour) / (3 seconds) = (30 mile/hour x 5,280 feet/mile) / (3,600 sec/hour x 3 seconds)= (30 x 5,280) / (3,600 x 3) = 14 and 2/3 feet per second2 = about 0.457 G
