22-23 Acceleration Calculations

Use these formulas for your assignment.

Part 2: Calculate the Average Acceleration
Be sure to include proper units. Round to two decimal places when necessary. Do not include direction.

If a unit requires an exponent, just write the number next to the letter, so meters per second squared would be m/s2.

Use these formulas for your assignment.

What is the acceleration of an object that starts with a speed of 22 m/s up but is traveling 12m/s up after 2 seconds?

1

An object is moving 20 m/s east. After 1 hour (3600s), it is moving 160 m/s east. What is the object's acceleration?

What is a car’s acceleration in m/s2 if it increases velocity from rest to 16.7 m/s north in 5.0 seconds?

Part 3: Calculate the Final Velocity
Be sure to include proper units. Round to two decimal places when necessary. Do not include direction.

If a unit requires an exponent, just write the number next to the letter, so meters per second squared would be m/s2.
