Question

Which of the following answers describe how to calculate the acceleration of an object?

A. Divide the change in the objects velocity by the time it takes to make that change.
B. Divide the time the object travels by the distance it travels.
C. Calculate the distance the object travels and divide that by the time it takes to get there.
D. Calculate the velocity of an object and divide that by the time the object is in motion.

Answer 1

I think it's A I hope this is right but I just studied this so I think this is the right answer

Answer 2

A. Divide the change in the objects velocity by the time it takes to make that change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity whose magnitude is given by the following equation:

`a=(\Delta v)/(\Delta t)`

where

`\Delta v` is the change in velocity of the object

`\Delta t` is the time it took to make the change in velocity

Therefore, we see that this equation corresponds to choice A.
