An object's velocity changes from 30 meters per second to 23 meters per second in 3 seconds What is is its acceleration?
-2.33 metres per second squared
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 are the units of acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity per unit of time. Velocity is distance (d) per unit of time (t). That makes acceleration distance per unit of time squared, or something like this:We have distance/time2, or d/t2Distance is commonly measured in meters, and time in seconds. This makes acceleration appear in meters per second per second, or meters per second squared, or m/sec2.m/s2meters per second squared
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
If a trucks brakes are applied for 2 seconds giving it acceleration of -3.1 ms2 what will the trucks new speed be in ms?
No starting velocity was given, so I can't give a correct answer, but I can answer part of the question. Given an acceleration and a time through which an object accelerates, you can determine the change in velocity. Acceleration is just the change of velocity over a period of time. Since we have an acceleration of -3.1 meters per second squared, acting for two seconds, we have a change in velocity of -6.2 meters per second. Take the original velocity and subtract 6.2 meters per second to get the answer.
