F = M A

In order for a 40-kg mass to accelerate at 2 meters/sec2 , a force

of (40 x 2) = 80 newtons has to come from somewhere.

That force is what produces that acceleration.

To pass a truck a car initially traveling 25 meters per second accelerates at a constant rate of 3 meters per second squared after 6 seconds how fast is the car traveling?

That's easy, if the car is initially traveling at 25 meters per second and gradually accelerates 3 meters per second for 6 seconds then the car is traveling at 43 meters per second.


What is the force that accelerates objects at 9.80665 meters per second squared towards Earth?

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 from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car’s acceleration is blankmeters/second2?

The acceleration of the body is 3 m/s²


A car accelerates from rest at 2 meters per second per second What is its speed 3 seconds after the car starts moving?

6 meters per second. Explanation: After 1 second = 2 meters per second. After 2 seconds = 4 meters per second. After 3 seconds = 6 meters per second.


How many meters does a car travel that starts from rest and accelerates for 4.7 seconds with an acceleration rate of 3.6 meters per second squared?

60.912 meters in that time


What is the average velocity of a car that accelerates from 15 meters per second to 25 meters per second in 10 seconds?

If the acceleration was constant (15 + 25) /2 = 20 (time does not figure into the averaging at all!)


A race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4.90 meters per second what is the cars speed after it has traveled 200 meters?

Acceleration cannot be measured in metres per second. There is, therefore a fundamental problem with the question.


A tow truck exerts a force of 3000 N on a car accelerating it at 2 meters per second what is the mass of the car?

The mass of an object can be determined by taking (the net force in Newtons) divided by (the acceleration in meters per second per second).


If a student travels 20 meters in 5 seconds what is the students velocity?

The student's velocity is 4 meters per second. Velocity is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, 20 meters divided by 5 seconds equals 4 meters per second.


What is acceleration due to the gravity of the earth?

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s^2). This value represents the rate at which an object accelerates towards the Earth when in free fall.


Which one of the following quantities is measured by by meters per second squared?

Meters per second squared (m/s²) measures acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity per unit time. It indicates how quickly an object's speed is increasing or decreasing. For example, if an object accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s², its velocity increases by 5 meters per second for every second that passes.
