Depending on what information you are given but in general, the average Acceleration of an object is the change in speed/time. for example: a plane is flying at 100 m/s initially and after 10 seconds, at 500 m/s, what is the avg acceleration 500-100/10= 40 m/s^2 (squared)

Mass is a measure of an objects resistance to?

To acceleration (change in velocity).


What is an accelerometer used for?

An accelerometer is used to measure proper acceleration. This is the acceleration felt by people and objects. Such accelerations are measured in terms of G-Force.


Is it possible for an objects velocity to be perpendicular to the objects acceleration?

no


If objects get faster with time the direction of the acceleration is?

The acceleration is positive.


An objects tendency to resist acceleration is measured by?

Angular acceleration


If an objects velocity time graph is a straight line parallel to the taxis what can you conclude about the objects acceleration?

acceleration is zero


When an objects net force is zero is it accerlerating?

When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.


Do objects have equal acceleration?

no, most objects accelerate differently.


Is their any chance that the heavier objects in free fall differ from the lighter objects when it comes to its acceleration?

Yes. The acceleration depends on the aerodynamics of the shapes of the objects - not their mass.


What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?

A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.


What is change in an objects motion?

Acceleration


What does acceleration measure?

Acceleration measures the change in speed
