How does acceleration equal g sin theta?
I assume you are asking this in regards to an inclined plane so I will answer it accordingly, Well Recall the equation Force = Mass x Acceleration. In the case of free falling objects Acceleration is equal to gravity, however, on an inclined plan the presence of an incline prevents the object from falling straight down. Instead it must accelerate with some component of gravity. Now recall that perpendicular forces of action on an Incline plane are calculated by Sin theta and that perpendicular forces ( the normal force) is calculated by Cos theta Hence because the object is accelerating down an incline the formula for its total force parallel to the object would be Force = mg sin theta Now if you remember, if you simply remove the mass from the above equation you will be left with the acceleration component of the problem ala the force = mass x acceleration formula. So gsintheta represents A ( acceleration) in the Force = mass times acceleration formula.
Where should you stand on the earth's surface to experience the least centripetal acceleration Explain?
As the earth bulges a bit at the equator, you should stand at the poles to experience the most centripetal acceleration. Looking at the formula for centripetal acceleration (Ac= v2/r), we see that as the distance from the centre of the body (r) increases, the acceleration decreases, therefore when the distance to the centre mass is smaller, as it is at the poles compared to at the equator, the acceleration is greatest.
Where can you find the acceleration formula?
You can find the acceleration formula on many physics and mathematical formula websites such as the physicsclassroom website. Alternatively you can view the formula on the wikipedia encyclopedia website.
A spacecraft orbits an unknown planet at a distance of 5.2 X 107 m from its center the period of its orbit is 52 hrs?
And what is the question?If you want to figure out the mass of the planet: First, use the formula for centripetal acceleration to get the acceleration. Then, use the gravitation formula to calculate the mass required to produce that acceleration.And what is the question?If you want to figure out the mass of the planet: First, use the formula for centripetal acceleration to get the acceleration.

What is the formula in finding the acceleration of an object?
acceleration = change in velocity / time
In newtons formula F equals MA what do each of the letters stand for?
f=force, m=mass, a=acceleration
How do you plot a Acceleration vs sin theta graph on Microsoft Excel?
You put the acceleration on the x-axis, and sin theta on the y-axis

What direction is acceleration in?
158 sin (30).
Why is this not the acceleration formula - acceleration force - mass if acceleration increases when force increases and it decreases when mass increases?
My bad, im asking why the formula isnt acceleration= force - mass

Why do you have to have a formula for acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. A= F/m
What is the formula in finding the acceleration of an object?
acceleration = change in velocity / time
Can you have velocity without acceleration?
Yes, a body can have aceleration without velocity. Consider sin x the position; cos x is the velocity and -sin x is the acceleration. Here the acceleration negative when x=90 degrees and the velocity is zero at 90 degrees.
What is newton formula for acceleration?
The newton formula for acceleration is f=ma Whereby f is the force m is the mass and a is the acceleration
