What is the acceleration of an object if it takes 10 seconds to increase its velocity by 40m/seconds?
a = change in V/change in time = 40/10 = 4 m/s^2
4 m/s
To calculate the acceleration of an object, you need to use the formula:
acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time taken)
In this case, the change in velocity is 40 m/s and the time taken is 10 seconds.
So, let's plug the values into the formula:
acceleration = 40 m/s / 10 s
Now, we can simplify this equation by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
acceleration = 4 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 meters per second squared (m/s²).
