Why is it that their is an acceleration when a car is moving?
There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.
Can velocity be 0 but speed not 0?
Yes, velocity can be 0 while speed is not 0. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line and comes to a stop, its velocity is 0 but its speed is not 0. Speed, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity that only considers the magnitude of the motion, regardless of direction.
What is the Acceleration of a car that got up to 45 ms from a rest position in 3 seconds?
Velocity at time 0 sec = 0m per sec Velocity at time 3 sec = 45m per sec Acceleration is 45/3 = 15m per sec if the acceleration is uniform
If A car travels down the highway at 55 mph its speed is what and its acceleration is what?
Acceleration is zero since 55 mph is velocity and it is constant. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity. The speed is the absolute value of velocity so it is also 55.
What is the acceleration of an object that starts stopped and after 5 seconds is going 25mm per hour?
the acceleration is increasing speed Acceleration = velocity change / time velocity change = 0 to 25 mm/hr = 25 mm/hr time = 5 seconds therefore acceleration = 25/5 mm/hr per second = 5 mm per hour per second.
