Acceleration intuition — Homework

Use a = (final velocity - starting velocity) / time. Include the sign.

  1. 1.A runner speeds up from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 s. Find the acceleration.
  2. 2.A train slows from 30 m/s to 10 m/s in 5 s. Find the acceleration.
  3. 3.A dropped ball speeds up from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 2 s. Find the acceleration.
  4. 4.A car travels a circular track at a constant 20 m/s. Is it accelerating? Why or why not?
  5. 5.What does it mean if an object has an acceleration of 0 m/s^2?
