Atrain traveling at 50 miles per hour has to slow down to 10 miles per hour in 4 seconds. what is the acceleration

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

Change in speed = (10 mph) - (50 mph) = -40 mph

Acceleration = (-40 mi/hr) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = -10 mi/hr-sec

To get a more comfortable, familiar unit for the answer . . .

Acceleration =

(-10 mile/hour-second) x (1,609.3 meter/mile) x (1 hour / 3,600 sec)

Acceleration = (-10 x 1,609.3 / 3,600) (mile-meter-hour / hour-sec-mile-sec)

Acceleration = -4.47 m/s²

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

not moving. pos accel,
