Magnitude of average acceleration = (change of speed) divided by (time for the change)

Average 'A' = (16 - 6) / 240 seconds = 10/240 = 1/24 meter per second2

-- That's the average over the 4 minutes. We don't know anything about the

value of the acceleration at any particular instant during the 4 minutes..

-- We're working entirely with scalars ... speed, not velocity, and magnitude of

acceleration ... since we don't know anything about the car's direction at any

point in time during the whole event.

What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 meters per second and has been traveling for 2 minutes?

zero - it is constat velocity. so acceleration is zero50 m/s2 Another : The acceleration is ZERO. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity per unit time. If the ball is traveling a constant velocity over a two minute period, the acceleration would be zero since there is no change in velocity.


What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of fifty miles and has been traveling for over 2 minutes?

If an object is traveling at a constant velocity, its acceleration is 0. Even if it traveled for 2 years.


If the speed of an object changes from 121 minutes per second to 98 minutes per second during a time interval of 12 seconds what is the acceleration of the object?

b. -1.92 m/s2Minutes per second is not a unit of velocity. If the question meant meters per second, the answer is correct.


Mr Hoffman a science teacher drove ten miles to school from home in twenty minutes he drove the ten miles home in thirty minutes his average velocity is what?

To calculate Mr. Hoffman's average velocity, we need to consider the total distance traveled and the total time taken. He drove 10 miles to school and 10 miles back home, totaling 20 miles. The total time taken was 20 minutes to school and 30 minutes back, which is 50 minutes. Therefore, the average velocity is calculated as total distance (20 miles) divided by total time (50 minutes), resulting in an average velocity of 0.4 miles per minute.


You drove 10 miles to school in 20 minutes Then drove the 10 miles home in 30 minutes your average velocity was?

Velocity = Distance ÷ Time Average Velocity = (10 + 10) ÷ (1/3 + 1/2) = 20 ÷ 5/6 = 20 x 6/5 = 24 mph NOTE : The times in minutes have been converted into fractions of an hour to enable the answer to be provided in miles per hour.

The velocity of a body was noted to be constant during five minutes of its motion What was its acceleration during this interval?

The acceleration of the body was zero during this interval because its velocity was constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity does not change, the acceleration is zero.


What is the difference between constant velocity and average velocity?

The average velocity is trying to find how fast the car is going at an average rate. However, constant velocity means that the car is going at an unchanged velocity. Say a car is going at 75 m/s and then changes to 50 m/s and then changes to 25 m/s in 30 minutes. The car is going at different velocities at different times. To find the average, you simply just add the 3 together, then divide by 3 giving you, 50 m/s In the 30 minutes, it's average velocity was 50 m/s However, for a car going at a constant velocity, it means that the velocity never changes. Say a car is going at a constant velocity for 30 minutes at 50 m/s. In those 30 minutes, the car will never change it's velocity and remain at 50 m/s. Constant means that it doesn't change.


What would be the acceleration of a object that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 minutes to the right?

1). If neither speed nor direction are changing, then acceleration is zero.2). "minutes" is not a unit of velocity, but we get the idea


If an object travels for 15 minutes at a constant velocity of 12 miles per hour west what is its acceleration?

Oh, dude, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, not the actual velocity itself. Since the object is traveling at a constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. So, like, it's not speeding up or slowing down, just cruising along at a cool 12 miles per hour west for those 15 minutes.


When a ball is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 ms and has been traveling for over 2 minutes what is the balls acceleration?

If the ball is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 m/s, then its acceleration is 0 m/s^2. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity, and therefore no acceleration.

A student walks 0.85 km to class in 5 minutes and then back in 7.1 minutes What is his average velocity?

The total displacement is 0 km, as the student returns to the starting point. The total time taken is 5 minutes + 7.1 minutes = 12.1 minutes. Therefore, the average velocity is 0 km divided by 12.1 minutes, which equals 0 km/min.

What is the differens between average velocity and instant velocity?

Think of average velocity as "overall" velocity. For example, if I walk down the block (let's say it's a distance of 100 meters), and it takes me 5 minutes, my AVERAGE velocity is just:v_ave = Δx/Δtwhere Δx is the change in position and Δt is the elapsed time.v_ave = (100 m) / (5 min)v_ave = (100 m) / (300 sec)v_ave = (1/3) m/sBut instantaneous velocity is a different concept: let's say for a while I walked, then I jogged, then I stopped, then I sprinted, then I walked. The overall trip still ended up taking me 5 minutes, so my average velocity is just as I've calculated it above, but my INSTANTANEOUS velocity changes as I change speeds at any given time in between.Hope this helps!


How A speed boat moving at a velocity of 25 ms runs out of gas and drifts to a stop 3 minutes later 100 meters away. What is its rate of deceleration?

To find the rate of deceleration, we first need to convert the time from minutes to seconds. 3 minutes = 180 seconds. Next, we use the equation of motion: final velocity^2 = initial velocity^2 + 2 * acceleration * distance. Since the boat comes to a stop, the final velocity is 0 m/s. Substituting the values and solving for acceleration, we get a deceleration rate of 0.139 m/s^2.


What is the average velocity in mph of 2.5 miles ran in 15 minutes?

Average speed = Distance/Time = 2.5 miles/15 minutes = 10 miles per hour
