How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too

Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."
speed= \frac{distance}{time}
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."
velocity= displacement/time
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time. 
acceleration =  \frac{change in velocity}{time}

Why don’t we feel the gravitational force of a large object such as a skyscraper semi-truck?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Se the explanation below

Explanation:

We do not feel these forces of these bodies, because they are very small compared to the force of Earth's attraction. Although its mass is greater than that of a human being, its mass is not compared to the Earth's mass. In order to understand this problem we will use numerical data and the universal gravitation formula, to give validity to the explanation.

<u>Force exerted by the Earth on a human being</u>

<u />

F=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}

Where:

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.673*10^-11 [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the person = 80 [kg]

m2 = mass of the earth 5.97*10^24[kg]

r = distance from the center of the earth to the surface or earth radius = 6371 *10^3 [m]

<u />

Now replacing we have

F = 6.673*10^{-11} *\frac{80*5.97*10^{24}}{(6371*10^{3})^{2}  } \\F = 785[N]

<u>Force exerted by a building on a human being</u>

<u />

Where:

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.673*10^-11 [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the person = 80 [kg]

m2 = mass of the earth 300000 [ton] = 300 *10^6[kg]

r = distance from the building to the person = 2[m]

F = 6.673*10^{-11}*\frac{80*300*10^6}{2^{2} }  \\F= 0.4 [N]

As we can see the force exerted by the Earth is 2000 times greater than that exerted by a building with the proposed data.

Find the uniform acceleration that causes a car's velocity to change from 20.0 m/s to 105 m/s in and 12.0 s
Sauron [17]

Answer:

7.08 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.0 m/s

v = 105 m/s

t = 12.0 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

105 m/s = a (12.0 s) + 20.0 m/s

a = 7.08 m/s²

You drop a rock from rest from the top of a tall building.1)how far has the rock fallen in 2.60 s?
Bess [88]
Answer:
distance = 33.124 meters

Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use one of the equations of motion which is:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
where:
s is the distance that we want to get
u is the initial velocity = 0
a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
t is the time = 2.6 sec

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the distance as follows:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
s = (0)(2.6) + 0.5(9.8)(2.6)^2
s = 33.124 meters

Hope this helps :)

Megan was doing time trials on her bike around a 400m horizontal track. She took 32 seconds to travel 400m. What was her average
Mars2501 [29]
To find average speed, we divide the distance of travel (in this case, 400 metres) by the time she took, 32 seconds.  Therefore: 12.5 seconds is her average speed.
