Kinematic magnitude of acceleration

Featured Replies

How do you calculate magnitude of acceleration of a cart during the time interval t=0 second to t=0.30 second?   (#7 on p 18 of workbook)

Use your kinematic equations.  Start by writing what you know (initial velocity is 0, time is 0.3 seconds, and distance traveled can be measured from the drawing).

Once you know three things, you can use your kinematic equations to solve for the other two (details here: https://www.aplusphysics.com/courses/regents/videos/KinEqns_Reg/KinEqns_Reg.html)

Hello @AnitaMorton🙂

To calculate the magnitude of acceleration of a cart during the time interval from t = 0 to t = 0.30

  • Find out Initial and Final Velocities
  • then calculate the change in velocity.
  • then determine the time interval t = 0 to  t = 0.30.
  • then calculate the acceleration.
  • then find out the magnitude of acceleration.

I hope this will helpful for you
