The acceleration of gravity depends on the distance from
the center of the Earth.  We use 9.8 m/s² for any place that's
on the Earth's surface, or reasonably close.  The 11.5 meters
down into the well certainly qualifies.

The formula we want is: 

                          Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                                  11.5 m      = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :            (11.5m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                                         2.347 sec²        =  time²

                                   time = √(2.347 sec²)  =   1.53 seconds  .

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles

What is the acceleration for an object moving with constant speed? Explain your answer
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed?

The Meaning of Constant Acceleration

The data table above show an object changing its velocity by 10 m/s in each consecutive second. This is referred to as a constant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a constant amount each second.
