What is the distance if the acceleration is 0.5 meters per sec square at 20 seconds?
If you assume that the initial speed is zero, you can calculate the distance using the formula:distance = 1/2 x acceleration x time squared
What is the most commonly used formula to calculate acceleration?
A=Vf-Vi/t Acceleration is the final velocity minus the initial velocity divided by the time it too to reach it
What is the equation for change in acceleration?
accelaration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Therefore the formula for acceleration is a =(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) divide by the (change in time)
How to get initial accelaraion?
To get the initial acceleration, you need to divide the force by the mass.
How do you calculate the speed of a ball during free fall from 55m high?
Using one of the formulae for constant acceleration: vf2 = vi2 + 2as, where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity (omit this term in this case, since the initial velocity is zero), a is the acceleration (9.8 in this case), and s is the distance.
What is the acceleration for meters per second?
This is imposible to calculate. In order to find acceleration, knowlege of at least 3 of these variables must be given: initial speed, final speed, distance, and time.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What is the formula for calculating displacement in which acceleration initial velocity and time are the variables?
If s = displacement, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time. Then s = ut + 1/2at2 Be careful to keep units consistent
How do you calculate acceleration from distance and time?
Acceleration= Distance/time (distance divided by time) That's the dumbest answer I've ever heard.. Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity/Time Velocity = Displacement/Time So you can't calculate acceleration from distance and time, you can only do velocity.
How do you find initial acceleration.?
The initial acceleration of an object can be found by calculating the change in velocity over time. This can be done by dividing the final velocity by the time taken to reach that velocity. The formula for initial acceleration is: initial acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?
No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.
How do you find acceleration falling object with only speed and distance?
a = (v2 - u2)/2s where a is the acceleration between the initial point in time and the final point in time, u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity s is the distance travelled
What is the formula for distance traveled in acceleration?
If starting from rest, Distance = 1/2 (acceleration) x (time)2 . Otherwise, Distance = 1/2 (initial speed + final speed) x (time)
What is the formula in calculating time acceleration final velocity and initial velocity?
There are different formulae for calculating these variables which depend on what information is available.
How do you calculate acceleration when given velocity and distance?
v2 - u2 = 2as so that a = (v2 - u2)/2s where u = initial velocity v = final velocity s = distance a = acceleration
How do you find time with only distance and acceleration when Vi and VF are 0?
The amount of time it would take an object to travel a distance with constant acceleration depends on its initial velocity, according to the equation: d = vit + 0.5at2 Where d is displacement, vi is initial velocity, t is time, and a is acceleration. Note: if the object starts from rest, its initial velocity, logically, is zero.
If you know the acceleration of a car its initial velocity the time interval what can you predict?
Its final velocity, the distance covered.
