There is no acceleration. Because the car is in a straight line, it is moving neither to the left or to the right, making no acceleration. Because it is at a constant speed, not speeding up or slowing down, there is no acceleration there. Therefore, no acceleration

a = (v2 - v1)/t = (5m/s - 6.5m/s)/5s = -0.3m/s2

Initial speed = 0
Final speed = (1.5 x 5.9)

Average speed = 1/2 (1.5 x 5.9)

Distance = (average speed) x (time) = 1/2 (1.5 x 5.9) x (5.9) = 78.3225 meters

What changes as an object moves with a constant acceleration?

During constant acceleration, either the object's speed changes at a constant rate, or the direction of its motion changes at a constant rate, or both.


How does force lead to motion?

A shove on an open door will force it into movement (motion) and it will close. cw: Mass moves at a constant rate (including zero) when there is no force applied to it. With a force applied, the mass accelerates. Accelerates means it changes its motion.

What is the name of an object in free fall?

Terminal velocity. It is when something falls through a gas or liquid it accelerates, at a decreasing rate, until it reaches its maximum constant velocity.


What happens as an object falls towards the earth?

It accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8m/s2. Depending on the object and how high above the earth it started, it may reach terminal velocity at which point it will no longer accelerate, but will continue to fall at a constant velocity.

What happpens to a car moving at a constant speed as it turns a corner?

The car undergoes a change in velocity. It accelerates (and does so at a constant rate - if the rate of turn is constant) in the direction of the turn. The speed is constant, but the direction the car is going changes at each instant in time because it is turning. And because it is changing direction, that means its velocity is changing (because velocity is speed plus a direction vector).
