Acceleration = velocity change / time
A = (v2 - v1) / t
A = (15 - 5) / 6 = 10 / 6 = 1.66667 miles per sec2 (miles per sec. per sec.)

What is a car's acceleration if it increases its speed from 5 miles per second to 20 miles per second in 3 seconds?
5 m/s2
A motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds what is its acceleration in miles per hour per second?
20 miles/hour/second The acceleration is simple division 60/3 = 20.
A train initially stationary has a constant acceleration of 0.5 Miles per second what is the speed after fifteen seconds?
7.5
What has to happen for an object to accelerate?
Acceleration is a rate of change of motion. It's usually measured in x squared, or x per second, per second. Acceleration may be a rate of change (not a change, a rate of change) such as: Zero to 50 miles per hour may be ten miles per second, per second. The first second, he was going 10 mph...the second second he was going 20 mph... the 3rd second he's going 30 miles per hour.... So...the acceleration is 10 exponent 2 or 10 miles per second squared. For acceleration to happen, an object must continue to increase it's speed. It has to go 10 then 20 then 30 then 40 then 50 miles per hour to accelerate. A RATE of change of speed.
What is an object's acceleration if its moving at 30 miles per second and comes to a stop in 5 s?
-6 m/s2
What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 32 miles per second to 96 miles per second in 8 seconds?
Acceleration = change in velocity/change in time Acceleration = 96 miles per second - 32 miles per second/8 seconds = 8 miles per second per second or, better expressed 8 mi/s^2 ---------------
What magnitude is the acceleration from 54 miles per second to 4 miles per second in 0.75 seconds?
-66.667 miles per second squared
What is the acceleration of 3 miles per second to 9 miles per second in 3 seconds?
A gain of 2 miles per second squared
If starting on a skateboard and 10 seconds later traveling 20miles per second what is acceleration?
20 miles per second / 10 seconds = 2 miles per second ^ 2
What is the acceleration between 7 miles per second to 2 miles per second in 5 seconds?
negative one mile per second per second
When a runner accelerates from 0 miles per second to 3 miles per second in 12 seconds what was the acceleration?
3 / 12 = 0.25 miles/second2.
What is the acceleration in miles per second squared if a car is traveling 20 miles per second and takes 3 seconds to brake?
-6.667 miles per second squared
What is a car's acceleration if it increases its speed from 5 miles per second to 20 miles per second in 3 seconds?
5 m/s2
A motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds what is its acceleration in miles per hour per second?
20 miles/hour/second The acceleration is simple division 60/3 = 20.
What is the acceleration of a car that goes form 0 miles per second to 25 miles per second in 3 seconds?
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)Acceleration = (25 - 0)/(3) = 81/3 miles per second2Don't try this at home. That acceleration is about 1,368 G's. You can not survive it!
A car accelerates to pass a truck going from 20miles per second to 29miles per second in 3 seconds what was the acceleration?
So acceleration is an increase of speed every second. The increase of speed was 9miles/sec and this was over 3 seconds. Therefore there was an acceleration of 3 miles/second every second i.e. 3m/s2
How to find magnitude of acceleration?
Rule: Magnitude of acceleration = Change of velocity / Time interval In linear motion, magnitude of acceleration is the measurement of change in speed in speed per unit time. For example: A car reaches a speed of 20 miles per second in 4 seconds, the magnitude of acceleration is 5 miles per second. a = 20 miles/second divided by 4 seconds = 5 miles per second. Acceleration is a vector, which means it has magnitude and direction. To describe accelerated motion completely, the direction also needs to be included. So it would be 5 miles per second in whatever direction it is going.
