Divide the change in position, (total distance covered) by the time it took.
Xf = xi +at
a = xf-xi / t
That is the definition of velocity, not acceleration. Acceleration is rate of change of velocity. (vfinal - vinitial)/t for constant acceleration so vf equals vi + at. Or a equals dV/dt otherwise.
What else can I help you with?
Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?
Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.
If a moving object speeds upin what direction is the acceleration?
If a moving object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the object's motion.
How to find the centripetal acceleration of an object in circular motion?
To find the centripetal acceleration of an object in circular motion, you can use the formula a v2 / r, where a is the centripetal acceleration, v is the velocity of the object, and r is the radius of the circular path. This formula helps calculate the acceleration needed to keep the object moving in a circular path.
Why is an object moving in a constant speed undergoing?
An object moving at a constant speed is not undergoing acceleration because acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Since the object's speed is not changing, there is no acceleration.
What is the difference between tangential and centripetal acceleration?
Tangential acceleration is the change in speed of an object moving in a circular path, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path. Tangential acceleration affects the speed of the object, while centripetal acceleration affects the direction of the object's motion.
When an object is turning a corner what direction is the acceleration?
The acceleration of an object turning a corner is directed towards the center of the circle that the object is moving along. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity, keeping it moving in a curved path.
He constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?
centripetal acceleration
Can an object move without acceleration?
Yes. An object cannot begin to move without acceleration, but once it's moving, it needs no further acceleration to continue moving.
How the acceleration of a moving object can be increased?
In order to increase the acceleration of an object, you need to increase the net force applied to the object.
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed, its acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle and is constant in magnitude. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is required to keep the object moving in a circular path.
What is the difference between radial acceleration and centripetal acceleration?
Radial acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in a circular path due to a change in direction, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration towards the center of the circle that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
