What is the acceleration of a sprinter that runs a race in 12 seconds and finishes the race traveling 24 meters per second?

The sprinter's acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.


What is the acceleration of a car traveling 1.2 meters long in 2 seconds?

1.2 divided by 2 seconds equals .6m/s... i think. acceleration without speeding is when you're going in circles, but you feel like you're going faster.


When acceleration occurs?

Acceleration occurs when velocity changes over time. The formula for it is as follows: a = (Vf - Vi) / t a: acceleration (meters/seconds2) Vf: Final velocity (meters/seconds) Vi: Initial Velocity (meters/seconds) t: Time (seconds)


What is the speed of a plane traveling 395000 meters in 9000 seconds?

395000 meters/9000 seconds is 43.889 meters/second


If a car is traveling 100 meters in 1400 seconds how fast is it traveling?

If an object is travelling 100 meters in 1400 seconds, then it is travelling (100 / 1400) or about 0.0714 meters per second.


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


A car traveling at 25 meters a second speeds up to 40 meters a second over a period of 15 seconds what is the average acceleration of the car?

Average acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time interval)A = (40 - 25) / 15 = 15/15 = 1 meter/sec2


What does the slope of an acceleration-position graph indicate?

Meters/seconds squared


To pass a truck a car initially traveling 25 meters per second accelerates at a constant rate of 3 meters per second squared after 6 seconds how fast is the car traveling?

That's easy, if the car is initially traveling at 25 meters per second and gradually accelerates 3 meters per second for 6 seconds then the car is traveling at 43 meters per second.


What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10 seconds to reach 27 meters per seconds from rest?

velocity = acceleration x time 27 = acceleration x 10 acceleration = 2.7 m/sec/sec


Why seconds are s2 (squared) in the acceleration formula?

Seconds are not squared in the acceleration formula. The units for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s^2), where the time unit (seconds) is squared to represent the change in velocity over time.


A car accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car’s acceleration is blankmeters/second2?

The acceleration of the body is 3 m/s²
