A skater increases her speed uniformly from 2.0 meters per second to 7.0 meters per second over a distance of 12 meters The magnitude of her acceleration as she travels this 12 meters is?
5.0 meters every 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
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 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.
When skydiver slows down from 54 meters to 4 meters by opening his parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration?
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
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)
A race car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly of 40ms in 8 seconds. How far will the car travel during the 8 seconds?
The formula for distance traveled with uniformly accelerated motion is d = 0.5 * a * t^2, where d is the distance, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. Plugging in the values: d = 0.5 * 40 * 8^2 = 0.5 * 40 * 64 = 1280 meters. Therefore, the car will travel 1280 meters in 8 seconds.
What does the slope of an acceleration-position graph indicate?
Meters/seconds squared
A skater increases her speed uniformly from 2.0 meters per second to 7.0 meters per second over a distance of 12 meters The magnitude of her acceleration as she travels this 12 meters is?
5.0 meters every second.
What is a speedboat's acceleration if its speed uniformly from twenty meters per second to thirtyone meters per second in a distance of 210 m?
.052 meters per second or .09 per meter
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
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 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 that goes from 32 meters per second to 96 meters per second in 8 seconds?
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)Acceleration = (96 - 32) / 8 = 64/8 = 8 meters per second2
What is the acceleration of a car moving in a straight line at a constant rate of 29 meters per second for 4 seconds?
"Constant rate" implies there is no acceleration - acceleration is zero.
