A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit
Alexxandr [17]
By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,

A skydiver jumps from an airplane and falls freely for 5 seconds. If the sky diver's velocity increases by 49 m/s during that ti
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

                       =      (49 m/s)   /   (5 seconds)

                       =       (49 / 5)  m/s  /  s

                       =            9.8 m/s²

A satellite’s velocity is 30000m/s. After 60 secs, it’s velocity shows to 15000m/a. What is the satellite’s acceleration?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Acceleration = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2 ( deceleration )

Explanation:

From the first equation of motion:

V = u + at

15000 = 30000 + 60a

a = ( 15000-30000)/60

a = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2

Chi walked 100 meters in 5 minutes. She took another 15 minutes to walk another 400 meters to reach her house. What is her avera
Law Incorporation [45]

Average speed is the ratio of total distance moved by Chi in total time interval

So here we will have

Total distance = 100 m + 400 m

d = 500 m = 0.5 km

Total time taken = 5 min + 15 min = 20 min

T = \frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3} hour

now by the formula of average speed we know that

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{T}

v_{avg} = \frac{0.5 km}{1/3 h}

v_{avg} = 1.5 km/h

so average speed will be 1.5 km/h
