Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change) = (0 - 36)/3 = -12 m/s2
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2, so the passengers are pulled forward
against their seat belts with a 'force' of 1.22 Gs during the screech.
If it takes 15 seconds for an echo to be heard, the distance between you and the reflecting surface (such as a wall, cliff, or building) is approximately 2,250 meters (15 seconds multiplied by the speed of sound at sea level, which is about 343 meters per second).
The speed of sound in air at 20C is approximately 343 meters per second. To find the time it takes for sound to travel 33.6 meters, you divide the distance by the speed: 33.6 meters / 343 m/s ≈ 0.098 seconds.
From the Sun, it takes about 500 seconds. That's 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
The time it takes for the sound to travel to the cliff and back as an echo is 4 seconds. Since the sound wave travels twice the distance to the cliff and back, the total distance traveled is 2 × 680 = 1360 meters. Using the formula speed = distance/time, we can calculate the speed of sound. The period of the sound wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle, which in this case is the time it takes for the sound to travel to the cliff and back, which we found to be 4 seconds.
A heartbeat typically takes around eight seconds to occur. This is the average time it takes for the heart to complete one full cycle of contraction and relaxation.
velocity = acceleration x time 27 = acceleration x 10 acceleration = 2.7 m/sec/sec
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change) = (25) / (10) = 2.5 meters per second2
A stone that falls from a ledge and takes 8 second to hit the ground travels a distance of 313.6 meters. You can find this answer by substituting 8 seconds for time in the physics formula d = 1/2 x acceleration x (t squared), where d = distance, acceleration is given as a =9.8 meters/second squared, and t squared is time in seconds.
Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 2/5 Acceleration = 0.4 meters per second2 north

Convert the speeds to meters per second (to convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second, you have to divide by 3.6). You have two accelerations here: for speeding up, and for slowing down. In each case, calculate the change in velocity, and divide that by the amount of time it takes. That's your acceleration, in meters per second squared.
Depends on how fast your walking.
The depth of the mine can be calculated using the formula: distance = 1/2 * acceleration due to gravity * time squared. Given the time is 6 seconds and the acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 m/s^2, the depth of the mine would be approximately 176.4 meters.
Divide the difference in speed by the time it takes. This will give you the average acceleration for that time period.
If it takes 15 seconds for an echo to be heard, the distance between you and the reflecting surface (such as a wall, cliff, or building) is approximately 2,250 meters (15 seconds multiplied by the speed of sound at sea level, which is about 343 meters per second).
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and is measured in ms2 (meters per second squared). It can also be described as the time it takes for the speed to change.
