What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero?

the car could be traveling in a straight line and slowing down (negative acceleration), speeding up (positive acceleration) or maintaining constant speed (zero acceleration).

The car's acceleration is
(its change in speed) / (the time for the change) in the direction of the line.

What are examples of centipetal acceleration?
(1) Anything moving in a circle, (2) anything moving along a curved path.
When mass is added to a moving cart what happens to its acceleration?
The cart's acceleration will decrease as its mass increases. This is why you must exert progressively more force on a shopping cart to move it along as items are added to it. If you were to continue to add items to the cart but not change how hard you push it, the cart would eventually become "impossible" to push.
Can a particle moving with uniform speed along a curved path have acceleration?
Yes, due to its change in direction of motion.
A particle is moving along the x-axis. The line graph shows the velocity of the particle over time. When is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle equal to 0?
5. A particle is moving along the x-axis. The line graph shows the velocity of the particle over time. When is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle equal to 0?
The magnitude of the acceleration of an object moving in a circle at constant speed is?
Since no values are given, the answer must be a general one. A particle in circular motion undergoes centripetalacceleration. Inertial motion is straight line motion. Any change in motion (including direction) requires positive or negative acceleration. In order to move along a circular (or any curved) path, a particle's direction of motion is in a constant state of diversion from straight line inertial motion, so it moves under a contant state of acceleration.
What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight-line path that increases its speed from zero to 80 km per hour in 10 s?
8 km/h. s
What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from 0 to 100 km per hour in 10 seconds?
10 km per hour per second.
On a V-t graph how does constant acceleration appear?
On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).
What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in ten seconds?
If you want to have that in meters per second square, convert the speed to meters per second (divide by 3.6 in this case). Then, divide the speed by the time.
What are examples of centipetal acceleration?
(1) Anything moving in a circle, (2) anything moving along a curved path.
What is positive accelerations?
Positive Acceleration refers to the force acting on an object whose speed increases as it moves away from its original starting position. If the velocity is increasing along with time it is called positive acceleration, and if the velocity decreases it is negative acceleration.
When mass is added to a moving cart what happens to its acceleration?

What is a variant of the name of the line used to determine the acceleration of a particle moving along a curved surface?
odograph
For motion along a straight line a horizontal line on a speed over time graph indicates graph indicates that what is zero?
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
Explain what is on the y-axis and x-axis in order to get acceleration?
In case of uniform acceleration,the graph will be a straight line with a +ve slope ,if we are taking velocity along Y-axis and time along X-axis.hence it's slope will give u acceleration.
When a body moving along a straight line is accelerating is it always increasing?
yes
Can a particle moving with uniform speed along a curved path have acceleration?
Yes, due to its change in direction of motion.
