How many meters does a car travel that starts from rest and accelerates for 4.7 seconds with an acceleration rate of 3.6 meters per second squared?

60.912 meters in that time


What is the average velocity of a car that accelerates from 15 meters per second to 25 meters per second in 10 seconds?

If the acceleration was constant (15 + 25) /2 = 20 (time does not figure into the averaging at all!)


What is the speed of a skateboarder who accelerates from rest for 3 seconds down a ramp at an acceleration of 5 mss?

Speed = (initial speed) plus (acceleration) x (time) = 0 + (5) x (3) = 15 meters per second.


A car accelerates from rest at 2 meters per second per second What is its speed 3 seconds after the car starts moving?

6 meters per second. Explanation: After 1 second = 2 meters per second. After 2 seconds = 4 meters per second. After 3 seconds = 6 meters per second.


To pass a truck a car initially traveling 25 meters per second accelerates at a constant rate of 3 meters per second squared after 6 seconds how fast is the car traveling?

That's easy, if the car is initially traveling at 25 meters per second and gradually accelerates 3 meters per second for 6 seconds then the car is traveling at 43 meters per second.


An eagle accelerates from 15 meters per second to 22 meters per second in 4 seconds. What is the eagle's average acceleration?

Average acceleration is the amount of acceleration per unit of time that a thing or an object undergoes. It is simple to discover. To find the average acceleration, we need only find out how much acceleration occurred and over what period of time. If we have the starting and the ending speeds, then by subtracting them we can find the chane of acceleration. Then we can divide that acceleration by the time it took to occur. The eagle in our example accelerates from 15 m/s to 22 m/s over a period of 4 seconds. His total acceleration was 7 m/s (22 m/s minus 15 m/s = 7 m/s), and, since it took 4 seconds to increase his speed by 7 m/s, the average acceleration is the total acceleration divided by the time it took to happen (as was stated). The average acceleration is 7 m/s divided by 4 seconds or 1.75 meters per second.


If a trucks brakes are applied for 2 seconds giving it acceleration of -3.1 ms2 what will the trucks new speed be in ms?

No starting velocity was given, so I can't give a correct answer, but I can answer part of the question. Given an acceleration and a time through which an object accelerates, you can determine the change in velocity. Acceleration is just the change of velocity over a period of time. Since we have an acceleration of -3.1 meters per second squared, acting for two seconds, we have a change in velocity of -6.2 meters per second. Take the original velocity and subtract 6.2 meters per second to get the answer.


A car accelerates to pass a truck going from 20miles per second to 29miles per second in 3 seconds what was the acceleration?

So acceleration is an increase of speed every second. The increase of speed was 9miles/sec and this was over 3 seconds. Therefore there was an acceleration of 3 miles/second every second i.e. 3m/s2
