Acceleration is the change in velocity over a give time.
A = ( u - v) / t
e.g.
A cae standing start to 30 mph. in say 10 secs.
First we need to change the units of time and distance .
30 mph = 44 m/s
u = final velocity of 44 m/s
v = initial velocity of 0 m/s ( standing start)
t = 10 secs.
Substitute
a = ( 44 m/s - 0 m/s_ / 10s
a = 44m/r /10s
a = 4.4 m/s^2
Bear in mind gravitational acceleration on Earth is ~ 10m/s^2
What else can I help you with?
Does mass and velocity equal force?
No, mass and velocity do not equal force. Force is the product of mass and acceleration, not velocity. The equation for force is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?
A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.
How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
Does velocity equal acceleration x time?
Yes, sort of. At least, that's the units used. The actual definition of acceleration is: a = dv/dt In other words, the rate at which velocity changes. In the case of constant acceleration, that would be equal to a change in velocity, divided by the time interval during which this change takes place. In the case of non-constant acceleration, the acceleration, or rate of change of velocity, can of course change from one moment to another.
What is contant acceleration?
Constant acceleration is defined as a situation in which an object's velocity changes by the same amount in each equal time interval. This means that the object's speed increases or decreases at a constant rate over time. Mathematically, constant acceleration can be represented by the equation a = (v_f - v_i) / t, where a is the acceleration, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, and t is the time.
Does mass and velocity equal force?
No, mass and velocity do not equal force. Force is the product of mass and acceleration, not velocity. The equation for force is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Is acceleration equal to initial velocity minus the final velocity divided by the time?
No, It is the average velocity.
When average velocity is equal to its instantaneous velocity acceleration?
you are still. motion is at rest.
What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?
A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.
Is acceleration equal to the initial velocity minus the final velocity and then divided by time?
No, acceleration is calculated as the change in velocity divided by time. It is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes. Mathematically, acceleration is represented as (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?
Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)
What equals acceleration x time?
It's equal to the change in velocity (final velocity - initial velocity).
Is acceleration a force that can affect an objects velocity?
Firstly, force is equal to mass of the object into it's acceleration, so acceleration is not a force.Next, the change in velocity of a body over time is called acceleration, so yes, acceleration does affecta body's velocity.
How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
What does the area under an acceleration time graph show?
The area under an acceleration-time graph is equal to the object's velocity (not change in velocity).
When can you have no acceleration?
To make acceleration equal zero. The velocity must be constant. For example, if velocity is constant at 10 m/s^2 its acceleration is zero. The same is true if velocity is 0 m/s^2.
Is the rate of your velocity change your acceleration?
Yes, the rate of change of velocity is equal to acceleration. This means that if an object's velocity is changing, it is experiencing acceleration, either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
