Question

A train accelerated from 5 km/hr in 0.5 hours. what was the rate of acceleration?

Answer 1

Acceleration is the simply rate of change in velocity, how much faster or slower is the object changing speed with respect to time.

A = v/t = 5 km/hr/0.5 hr

5/1/2 = 5 • 2 = 10 km/hr^2.

This would be the acceleration.
