Want this question answered?
what is the change in speed or velocity? average acceleration will be change in speed or velocity divided by time taken (4 seconds in ur case)
Acceleration is a direction plus a speed. If either changes then the acceleration changes.
If he started out from "rest" (zero speed), then his average acceleration for the 5 seconds is50/5 = 10 meters per second2
Acceleration is the rate that speed changes.
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (change in time) = (30 m/s) / (10 sec) = 3 meters per second2
The acceleration changes if speed or direction changes
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
Acceleration
You haven't mentioned distances or speed or acceleration, so this cannot be answered.
Acceleration is the rate at which speed changes, at least scalarly.
Velocity is acceleration and direction put together. The velocity of something changes if either acceleration or direction changes. Speed is just the average MPH measure. Velocity is not acceleration and direction put together. In that kind of description, velocity is is speed and direction put together. Velocity is a vector, whose size is the speed.
Divide the difference in speed by the time it takes. This will give you the average acceleration for that time period.
