Best Answer

Final velocity minus starting velocity, divided by time it took.

Ex. Speeding up you car from 40mph to 60 mph when going on to freeway. It took 2 seconds.

60mph - 20mph= 40mph/2sec =20mph

20mph is your acceleration.

What is happening to an object when it has a negative accerleration?

It's deccelerating-it's slowing down-it's losing velocity.

It slows the acceleration - possibly down to zero @ "terminal velocity".

Is velocity the slope of the accerleration vs graph?

It's the other way around. The magnitude of acceleration is the slope of the graph of speed vs time.


What is the accerleration of a 0.25kg steel ball that experiences a net force of 1.15 N?

F = m AA = F/m = 1.15/0.25 = 4.6m/s2


What must you calculate to determine the accerleration of an object?

To determine the acceleration of an object, you need to calculate the change in velocity over a specific period of time. Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for that change to occur. The formula for acceleration is acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
