In the previous chapter we defined acceleration to be the time rate of change of velocity; that is, a (change in v) / (change in time). Are we now saying that acceleration is instead the ratio of (net) force to mass, that is, a = F/ m? Which is it? How is the first %3D acceleration formula compared to the second formula? Elaborate your answer.

Check Your Understanding Light navels about 9 Pm in a year. Given that a year is about 3107s , what is the speed of light in meters per second?
can you help with question B.
According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part b? d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part b?
What is the speed of a car going v=1.000 mph in SI units? Notice that you will need to change miles to meters and from hours to seconds. you can do each conversion separately. Use the facts that 1 mile=1609 m and 1 hour= 3600s
I need the answer and the explanation
You get lost and stop at a gas station to ask for directions. The attendant tells you that your destination is "about 1 mile down the road". You drive to your destination, but you notice that, according to your trip odometer, you have driven 1.9 miles. What was the % error in the attendant's distance estimate? ( Note: We will temporarily ignore the sign for error calculations. The correct answer for each calculation is an integerbetween 0 and 100, inclusive. Do NOT enter the percent sign (%) or a minus sign (-). )
A high-performance sports car can go from 0 to 100 mph in 7.0 s. (Assume the car travels in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) What is the car's average acceleration (in SI units; meter-kilogram-second)?(b) The same car can come to a complete stop from 31 m/s in 3.9 s. What is its average acceleration?

A car is traveling down a highway at a constant speed, described by the equation d=60t, where d represents the distance, in miles, that the car travels at this speed in t hours. What is the constant of proportionality?
Suppose you went for a drive along a long, straight road that runs east-west. Let's define east to be the positive x direction. From your home, you drive east at 30. mi/hr to your friends house for 20. minutes, then at 48 mi/hr east for 10. minutes to the grocery store. Finally, you drive west at 60. mi/hr without stopping to get home. How many minutes will it take to drive from the grocery store to your home (at 60. mi/hr)? Note: Your answer should have the correct number of significant figures
At 9:13 A.M., a sports car is traveling 30 miles per hour. Two minutes later, the car is traveling 90 miles per hour. The mean value theorem guarantees that at some time during this two-minute interval, the car's acceleration is exactly A miles per hour squared. Compute the value of A. A = mi/h² Need Help? Read It
During a short interval of time the velocity v in m / s of an automobile is given by = at2 + bt, where t is the time in s. the units of a and b are respectively:
