3 m/s/s or 3 m/s^2

a = (vf-fi)/(delta t), where a = acceleration, vf = final velocity, vi = initial velocity, and delta t = time interval. vf = 12 m/s, vi = 9.6 m/s, and delta t = 0.8 s

Plug the known values into the equation and solve for acceleration.

a=(12 m/s - 9.6 m/s)/(0.8 s) = 3 m/s/s or 3 m/s^2

What is the definition of a cross section?

Cross section as a noun defines as a shape or surface that is or would be exposed by making a straight cut through something especially at the right angles to an axis.


What is the formual for acceleration?

If the acceleration is constant.... The formula for velocity is v = v₀ + at For distance it is d = d₀ + v₀t + ½at² For velocity without time it is. v² = v₀² + 2ad For more details refer to the related link in the Related Links section below. The subject is called kinematics

What is the relationship between extension and mass?

Within a materials elastic limit, the extension of a uniform section (like a wire) will be proportional to the tensile load. The graph of load (mass) v extension will be a straight line


Why is water coming out of a faucet becomes narrower as it descends?

The water coming out of a faucet becomes narrower as it descends to the law of continuity. A1 x v1 = A2 x v2, or the product of the cross section of the substance in flow at one point and its speed must be equal to the product of the cross section and speed at the next point. In the case of water falling, it is subjected to the acceleration of gravity. To accommodate the increase in speed the cross section of water flowing to the next point will decrease until the water reaches terminal velocity.

What is the definition of a cross-section?

The definition of a cross-section is the surface that is seen after something is cut through a straight. This is done to expose the inner shape of an object.


What is the name for a bend in a straight road?

a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.


Is parasagittal section is a section that is perpendicular to a sagittal section?

The sagittal plane is a vertical plane through the longitudinal axis dividing the body into left and right portions. If the animal is bisected straight down the midline, the section is called a "midsagittal" section. If the animal is sectioned away from and lateral to the midline, the section is referred to as "parasagittal".


How can we calculate the average speed for several different parts of the journey?

Measure the distance covered in a section and divide by the time taken to cover that distance. The result is the average speed for that section.


How can you calculate average speed from a distance -time graph?

Speed is distance divided by time so pick the section you want to work out the average for, work out how much distance has been traveled in that section and divide it by how much time has passed for that section.
