∙ 13y ago10metres/second2 = acceleration very close to earth's gravity of 9.8m/s2
There are 1000 meters/second in 1 kilo meters/second
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)
Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.
The acceleration is expressed in meters per second square, which really means (meters / second) / second. Every second, the skydiver will be 10 meters per second faster than the previous second. Therefore, after 3 seconds, he will have a speed of 30 meters per second.
Acceleration of the object.
Acceleration= rate of change of speed
The phrase "ten meters per second squared" describes the acceleration of an object experiencing a change in velocity at a rate of 10 meters per second each second. It represents how quickly the object's speed is increasing over time.
10m/s describes speed.
same statement
acceleration of an object increasing its velocity by 10 meters per second every second.
Wave speed is the rate at which a wave disturbance travels through a medium. It is typically measured in meters per second (m/s) or other units of distance per time. The phrase "the speed at which a wave travels through a medium" describes wave speed accurately.
The acceleration of gravity.
Any time you see a number that has units of [ Length/time2 ], you know that the number is an acceleration. That number of ' 10 ' is pretty close to the acceleration of gravity on Earth ... 9.807 m/s2 .
acceleration of an object. It represents the rate at which an object's velocity is changing over time. A value of 10 meters per second squared means that the object's velocity is increasing by 10 meters per second for every second that passes.
... approximate acceleration of gravity at the surface of the earth.A better figure to carry around is 9.8 meters per second squared.
The approximate acceleration of a body in freefall near the earths surface due to earths gravitational pull. The object in freefall gains 9.81 meters per second for every second that elapses (ignoring air resistance).
