What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?
it measures the magnitude of acceleration, but it can't tell you the direction of the acceleration.
How do you find acceleration due to gravity when gravitational constant is given. tell the formula?
Acceleration due to gravity in the vicinity of a mass 'M' is A = G M / R2 A = the acceleration G = gravitational constant M = mass of the mass R = distance from the center of the mass 'M'
What is the acceleration if the velocity is 0?
It's not possible to tell from only that much information. When you throw a rock up, its acceleration is the acceleration of gravity from the moment it leaves your hand until it hits the ground. But its velocity is upward some time, downward some time, and zero at the top.
What is the acceleration of a skateboarder traveling 12m per sec?
Acceleration is independent of speed. If the instantaneous velocity of an object is 12m/s and no other information is known, it is impossible to tell the acceleration. However, if the velocity does not change at all over a certain time interval, the acceleration over that time interval is 0m/s2. If other information is given, such as initial/final velocity, time, or displacement, then one of the the "famous five" equations may be used to determine the acceleration.
How do you calculate velocity of a box attached to a spring?
some basic physics will tell you that the mass of the box times acceleration due to gravity times the height of the box above the ground, minus the force of the spring or the spring constant times the distance the spring stretches will equal .5 times the mass of the box times the velocity squared mgh-kx=.5mv2
Which of newtons laws tell us that mass and acceleration are related?
I think its the first one force = mass * acceleration

What does a curved line on a distance versus time graph tell you?
It tells you that the velocity of the body is not constant. There is acceleration or deceleration.

Why does the shape of the free fall curve tell you about how an object moces when it is in free fall?
if its a velocity / time curve, it will show diminishing acceleration (slope of the curve) up to terminal velocity (forces balanced)
When force is proportional to mass and acceleration why do you say force is proportional to mass multiplied by acceleration why not mass plus acceleration and so on?
By definition, if two things are proportional to one and other, they are connected by a multiplying constant. If F = m + a you would simple say F is a bigger than m and it would also require that force, mass and acceleration all shared the same dimensions and units. Clearly mass is a scalar and force and acceleration are vectors, so that is not the case. Also, if they shared the same dimensions, they would effectively be the same thing so F = m + a would be the same as F(total) = F(1) + F(2) which wouldn't tell us very much about the laws of physics at all. Also, you don't say force is proportional to mass times acceleration (it's EQUAL to mass times acceleration). It's either force is proportional to mass (in which case acceleration is the factor of proportionality) or force is proportional to acceleration (in which case it is mass).
How is mass force and acceleration related?
Mathematically. F=MA Force=Mass (times) Acceleration I would say force would not be directly related to acceleration, I would say it relates directly to mass. But, of course, for a body to accelerate, it must be acted upon by a force. Physics is fun, isn't it? Tell me when it makes sense.
Why does velocity stay constant with decreasing momentum?
As far as we can tell, it doesn't. Momentum is defined as (mass) times (velocity). There appear to be only two ways in which momentum can decrease: either the mass has to magically evaporate, or else the velocity has to decrease. Since mass conservation is a nearly fundamental law of nature, that leaves us with velocity as the only way to change the momentum of a moving body.
What would a negative acceleration tell you about the object in motion?
the car is at a constant speed---------------------------------------------------------I'm pretty sure that if the acceleration is negative, the car is slowing down. But if the velocity is negative, the car is either heading south or down (velocity refers to speed and direction.. according to my physics teacher).
