If a nerve signal travels to and from the brain at a speed of 30 meters per second how long would it take the signal to travel 3 meters?
It would take the signal 0.1 seconds to travel 3 metres, given the parameters that you have given.
What does the phrase per second per second mean?
per second per second is taken with the context of how an object is changing its acceleration. An object accelerates by speeding up or slowing down. If an object speeds up, it could speed up at a rate of 5 meters per hour, let's say, every second. So after one second, its speed is 5 mph; after two seconds, its speed is 10 mph and so forth. If an object's speed is increasing at 5 meters a second, then its speed is 5 meters per second the first second; 10 meters per second the second second and so forth. We would say the object's acceleration is 10 meters per second / per second.AnswerIt has to do with speed,the time an object falls from a given height is calculated in seconds per second( it fell in less than a second)
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.
If a car starts from rest and after 6 seconds it is moving at 42 ms what is the car's average acceleration?
If a car is moving 42 meters per second after 6 sectons, the average acceletion is 7 meters per second per second. It is an average, given two points of data, and it is not the instantaneous acceleration at any point in time.
What is the acceleration for meters per second?
This is imposible to calculate. In order to find acceleration, knowlege of at least 3 of these variables must be given: initial speed, final speed, distance, and time.
