How do you calculate the acceleration if stationary car that accelerates to 20meterper second travelling in 5 seconds?
Remember the equation for acceleration.
a = (v - u ) / t
Were
a = acce;leration
v = final speed ( 20 m/s)
u = initial speed ( 0 m/s)
t = time ( 5 s)
Substituting
a = ( 20 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5s
a = 20m/s / 5s
a = 4 m /s^2
What else can I help you with?
How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
How do you work out velocity when given acceleration and time?
Answer: v=u + at v (Velocity) = u (Starting velocity) + a (acceleration) x t (time) So, starting from stationary (u=0), the velocity is simply a x t e.g. if the acceleration is 5mph per second per second, after 10 seconds you would be travelling at 50mph. Answer: The above is for constant acceleration. In the case of variable acceleration, integration has to be used.
Formula for distance traveled?
There is not enough information to answer the question. The answer depends onis the object travelling at constant velocity?is the acceleration constant?If it is an object travelling with constant acceleration, which three of the following four variables are knows: initaial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time.
What is the acceleration of a car traveling from 0 to 60 miles in 4 seconds?
There is no acceleration if the car is travelling at a steady 54,000 miles per hour.
What is the maximum acceleration of a train travelling at 90 miles per hour?
The speed or velocity of a train has no bearing on its acceleration.
A cart travelling at 12 m/s accelerates at a rate of +2.5 m/s2 for 8.0 seconds. How far has the cart travelled during this acceleration?
It's called stop cheating on your math papers.

How can an object have a velocity of 0 m per s but still be accelerating?
^velocity* Consider an object that is travelling south at 10m/s. It accelerates north until it is travelling 10m/s. If we define south as negative, then it accelerates from -10m/s to 10m/s. -10 < 0 < 10, hence, it is travelling at 0m/s at some point.

Why cant you feel the earth going around?
because you are travelling at the same speed, there is no acceleration
What is the maximum acceleration of a train travelling at 90 miles per hour?
The speed or velocity of a train has no bearing on its acceleration.
What is a story problem for acceleration?
Jack is driving a car. As he passes post 1 he is travelling at 15ms-1 and starts to accelerate at a steady speed. 8 seconds later he passes post 2 travelling at 30ms-1. Post 1 and 2 are What is his acceleration during this time?
What is the force of gravity like when you are travelling from earth into outer space?
It's like an acceleration, same as it is everywhere else.
What is the action of an automobile if the velocity is positive and the acceleration is zero?
It means the automobile is travelling at a constant speed in a particular direction.
If We are travelling in train through the window nearby objects appears to move in opposite direction while far off objects looks stationary?
Yes, that is correct.
