If a skydiver reaches terminal speed after ten seconds will the skydiver gain more speed during the first second or the ninth second?
I would imagine that it is uniform acceleration up until terminal speed. However, wind resistance will be higher 10000 feet up, so acceleration may be less at the start
If you are pushing a shopping cart if you start pushing harder what happens?
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the greater the force, the greater the acceleration. So if you were to begin pushing a shopping cart harder, you go faster and there is more acceleration. If you were to push the cart softer there would be less acceleration.
What is the formula for acceleration and what would be an example of an acceleration units?
The basic formula for acceleration is the one that defines acceleration, as the rate of change of speed: a = dv/dt. For the case of constant acceleration, this is simply (change of velocity) / time. The unit is any unit of speed by a unit of time; in the SI that would be (meters / second) / second, usually written as meters / second squared.
What would the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 miles per second to the right?
The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed
What states that acceleration equals force divided by mass?
If: Newton's Second Law states that Force equals Mass times Acceleration. Then: Algebraically, Acceleration would equal Force divided by Mass
What does the phrase ten meters per second squared describes?
Ten meters per second squared, or ten meters per second per second is the term used for acceleration. In this case it is referring to the acceleration caused by gravity. If you were on the top of a steep cliff and threw a ball over the side, it would accelerate at 10 meters per second squared. So after 10 meters is would be going 20 meters a second.
How do you calculate G's?
1 g is ~ 9.81 m/s2 which is the acceleration an object undergoes due to gravity. The load or force exerted on a body due to gravity would be expressed by: F=ma Force = Mass x Acceleration So the g-load would be the Object's Mass x 9.81 m/s2 See the link below for a more thorough explanation.
What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?
As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.
What would be the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.191 meters per second to the right?
If he is moving at a constant speed and not changing direction, then acceleration is zero.
What would happen if acceleration didn't exist?
What would happen is we would not be able to move. We would be able to start running are walk.
Why is acceleration due to gravity 9.8 meter per second square?
That is because Earth attracts objects with a certain force (through gravitation). If the gravitational force were more, the acceleration would be more. If the gravitational force were less, the acceleration would also be less.
Find the acceleration of a car that goes from A meters per second to B meters per second in 8 seconds?
It would be (B-A)/8
