How do you find distance given acceleration and speed?
acceleration times speed
What is the formula for speed and acceleration?
formula for speed is distance traveled over time taken to cover distance acceleration is given by change in velocity per unit time
How can you find force when given distance and speed?
You cannot. Force is mass times acceleration. You have neither.
What is the formula used to find distance?
The distance travelled by an object in a given time is given by:Distance = Speed * TimeAlternatively for an object that is accelerating:Distance = (Speed of object before acceleration is applied * Time) + (0.5 * Acceleration * Time squared)If the object is accelerating from speed zero, the first set of brackets is irrelevant.Also, if the object is falling to the ground, acceleration = 9.81
How do distance-time and speed-time graphs help explain an object's motion?
Distance - Time shows speed (by gradient) and distance travelled over a given time. Speed - time shows acceleration and instant speed.
Is acceleration the rate at which an object covers a given distance?
No. It's the rate at which a object changes velocity (speed).
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.
What information do you get from acceleration?
Distance travelled or time elapsed between set points, given the speed at the first point. Also instantaneous speed.
What is the equation for average speed and acceleration?
Average speed = Distance travelled/time to travel the distance . Average acceleration = Change of speed/time for the change .
What are two equations for speed?
Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance) Speed = (magnitude of acceleration) multiplied by (time the acceleration has acted)
What is the maximum acceleration of a train with a maximum speed of 90 miles per hour?
You have to know how long it takes to get to 90 mph to solve this. Speed = acceleration x time
How are acceleration and speed alike?
They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.
