Speed, or velocity, is measured in distance per second; it is the rate of change of distance with time.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, or distance per second per second, which is distance per seconds squared,

Why seconds are s2 (squared) in the acceleration formula?

Seconds are not squared in the acceleration formula. The units for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s^2), where the time unit (seconds) is squared to represent the change in velocity over time.


What does the slope of an acceleration-position graph indicate?

Meters/seconds squared


Value of gravitational acceleration in centimeter per seconds squared?

On Earth, that is about 980.


How do you measure an objects acceleration?

Depending on what information you are given but in general, the average Acceleration of an object is the change in speed/time. for example: a plane is flying at 100 m/s initially and after 10 seconds, at 500 m/s, what is the avg acceleration 500-100/10= 40 m/s^2 (squared)


If a car goes in 6.8 seconds how do you figure out the acceleration?

To calculate acceleration, you need to know the initial velocity of the car and its final velocity after 6.8 seconds. The acceleration can be found using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

What do you measure acceleration in?

Metres per second squared (m/s^2 , m/s2 )


What is the velocity if travel 5.7 meters per second squared for 4 seconds?

Velocity can be measured in metres per second, not metres per second squared. Acceleration is measured in metres per second squared but knowing only the acceleration does not help in finding the velocity.


What goes from 0 to 120 in three seconds flat?

Something that has a constant acceleration of 13.3 per second squared


What is the resultant acceleration?

Acceleration is a vector, meaning each acceleration has both magnitude and direction. The resultant of vectors is basically the net acceleration on the object expressed as a single vector. For example, if there are two vectors each with a magnitude of 2 meters/(seconds squared) acting on an object and these vectors were placed on the x and y axes then you could represent this system of 2 vectors 90 degrees apart each with a magnitude of two meters/(seconds squared) as one vector of 45 degrees with a magnitude of 2 times the square root of 2 meters/(seconds squared).
