F = M A

In order for a 40-kg mass to accelerate at 2 meters/sec2 , a force

of (40 x 2) = 80 newtons has to come from somewhere.

That force is what produces that acceleration.

To pass a truck a car initially traveling 25 meters per second accelerates at a constant rate of 3 meters per second squared after 6 seconds how fast is the car traveling?

That's easy, if the car is initially traveling at 25 meters per second and gradually accelerates 3 meters per second for 6 seconds then the car is traveling at 43 meters per second.


What is the force that accelerates objects at 9.80665 meters per second squared towards Earth?

A car accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car’s acceleration is blankmeters/second2?

The acceleration of the body is 3 m/s²


A car accelerates to pass a truck going from 20 meters per second to 29 meters per second in 3 seconds What is the acceleration?

3 m/s2


A car accelerates from rest at 2 meters per second per second What is its speed 3 seconds after the car starts moving?

6 meters per second. Explanation: After 1 second = 2 meters per second. After 2 seconds = 4 meters per second. After 3 seconds = 6 meters per second.


How many meters does a car travel that starts from rest and accelerates for 4.7 seconds with an acceleration rate of 3.6 meters per second squared?

60.912 meters in that time


A car initially traveling at a speed of 16 meters per second accelerates uniformily to a speed of 20 meters per second over a distance of 36 meters what is the magnitude of her acceleration?

The car's final velocity will be 37.68 meters per second / 84.3 mph


What is the average velocity of a car that accelerates from 15 meters per second to 25 meters per second in 10 seconds?

If the acceleration was constant (15 + 25) /2 = 20 (time does not figure into the averaging at all!)


What is the rate of the gravity accelerates objects on earth?

The acceleration due to gravity alone on Earth is about 9.81 meters per second-squared.


A race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4.90 meters per second what is the cars speed after it has traveled 200 meters?

Acceleration cannot be measured in metres per second. There is, therefore a fundamental problem with the question.


A tow truck exerts a force of 3000 N on a car accelerating it at 2 meters per second what is the mass of the car?

The mass of an object can be determined by taking (the net force in Newtons) divided by (the acceleration in meters per second per second).


Free falling object?

Any free falling object accelerates at towards the earth at 10 meters per second squared regardless of volume and mass. This is due to gravity.
