Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change)

= (3-1)/40 = 2/40 = 0.05 meter per second2

An astronaut of mass 90 kg walks in space outside her spaceship and receives 30-N force from a nitrogen spurt gun What is the acceleration does she experience?

f = m a a = f / m = 30/90 = 1/3 meter per second2= roughly 1/30th of gravity


How do you Calculate G forces with only Acceleration given?

You divide the given acceleration by the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. If the acceleration is in meters per second square, you divide by 9.8.You divide the given acceleration by the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity.

What has to happen for an object to accelerate?

Acceleration is a rate of change of motion. It's usually measured in x squared, or x per second, per second. Acceleration may be a rate of change (not a change, a rate of change) such as: Zero to 50 miles per hour may be ten miles per second, per second. The first second, he was going 10 mph...the second second he was going 20 mph... the 3rd second he's going 30 miles per hour.... So...the acceleration is 10 exponent 2 or 10 miles per second squared. For acceleration to happen, an object must continue to increase it's speed. It has to go 10 then 20 then 30 then 40 then 50 miles per hour to accelerate. A RATE of change of speed.


A motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds what is its acceleration in miles per hour per second?

To calculate acceleration in miles per hour per second, first convert the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds to miles per hour. 60 mph / 3 sec = 20 mph/sec. So, the acceleration in miles per hour per second is 20 mph/sec.


What is an accurate statement of an acceleration value translation from symbols into words?

Acceleration as in metres per second per second? The acceleration of a car for example? In words, acceleration is the rate of change of speed. (Speed is the rate of change of position).

What is the acceleration of an object that starts stopped and after 5 seconds is going 25mm per hour?

the acceleration is increasing speed Acceleration = velocity change / time velocity change = 0 to 25 mm/hr = 25 mm/hr time = 5 seconds therefore acceleration = 25/5 mm/hr per second = 5 mm per hour per second.


When you have a bird going 10 meters per second and its direction is northeast what is the acceleration?

As long as the speed doesn't change and the direction doesn't change, its acceleration is zero.


What is the unit of acceleration measured in kilometers per hour?

Kilometers per hour is used to measure speed, not acceleration.

If a car going 105 kilometers per hour stops in a distance of 60 meters what is its acceleration in meters per second squared and how many g?

Acceleration = 7.09 ms-2 G's = 7.09/9.8 = 0.72


If you are going 50miles hours for 30 seconds what is the acceletation?

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity (speed) Thus if your speed is constant (50 miles per hour) your acceleration is zero


What is the difference between and accleration?

Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).


How many feet does a car travel from going 0-70 miles per hour?

What is the average acceleration of a car if a time equals 1.00s is going 32.8 and at equals 10.00 is going 2.4?

Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change) = (2.4 - 32.8)/(10 - 1) = (-30.4)/(9) = -317/45 units per second2


Can acceleration be measured in miles per hour?

No. "Miles per hour" is a speed. An acceleration might be "Miles per hour per hour", or "miles per hour squared".


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 to pass a truck going from 20miles per second to 29miles per second in 3 seconds what was the acceleration?

So acceleration is an increase of speed every second. The increase of speed was 9miles/sec and this was over 3 seconds. Therefore there was an acceleration of 3 miles/second every second i.e. 3m/s2
