What force is required to accelerate a body with a mass of 18 kilograms at a rate of 36 m s?

36 meters is not a "rate".If you have an acceleration (in meters per second square), use Newton's Second Law:Net force = mass x acceleration.36 meters is not a "rate".If you have an acceleration (in meters per second square), use Newton's Second Law:Net force = mass x acceleration.36 meters is not a "rate".If you have an acceleration (in meters per second square), use Newton's Second Law:Net force = mass x acceleration.36 meters is not a "rate".If you have an acceleration (in meters per second square), use Newton's Second Law:Net force = mass x acceleration.


A rock falls of a bridge that is 98 meters high How fast will the rock be traveling when it hits the water?

Where: vi is the initial velocity of the rock [0 meters/second] a is the acceleration of the rock [-9.81 meters/second2] s is the final position of the rock [0 meters] si is the initial position of the rock [98 meters] v is the velocity of the rock when it hits the water If you plug in all of the numbers and solve for v, you should get the rock to be traveling at 43.84929 meters per second when it hits the water. Or if your rounding it is 43.8

A stone falls from rest how fast is it falling after 10 seconds?

Speed = (acceleration) times (time)Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2Speed = 10g = 98 meters (322 feet) per second


What is the maximum acceleration that a human can withstand?

The maximum acceleration that a human can withstand without injury is around 9-10 g's, which is equivalent to 88-98 meters per second squared.


If the speed of an object changes from 121 meters per second to 98 meters per second during a time interval of 12 seconds what is the acceleration of the object?

Acceleration = change in velocity/time a = (v - u) /t where a= acceleration, v= velocity, u= initial velocity & t= time. u = 121 m/s v = 98 m/s t = 12 m/s a = (98 - 121) /12 a = -23/12 a = -1.91667 m/s2

Gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at a rate of 98 meters per seconds?

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared, not 98. This means that an object in free fall will increase its speed by 9.8 m/s every second.


What is the maximum amount of acceleration that the human body can withstand?

The maximum amount of acceleration that the human body can withstand without injury is around 9-10 g's, which is equivalent to 88-98 meters per second squared.


If the speed of an object changes from 121 ms to 98 ms during a time interval of 12s what is the acceleration of the object?

Average acceleration during the time interval = (change on speed) / (time for the change) =(98 - 121) / (12) = -23/12 = negative (1 and 11/12) meters per second2


98 meters equals how many milimeters?

98 meters = 98,000 millimeters


Why are the units for acceleration meters per second?

Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.
