"ten meters per second square " what does this phrase mean?

Answer 1

Such as 10 m/s^2? This is an acceleration. What it means is that an object is increasing it's velocity by 10 m/s every second.

Answer 2

This phrase means acceleration. It means some object goes 10 meters in a second and each second the object doubles it's speed (10 m/s). So the first second it goes 10 m/s, the second second it goes 20 m/s, and so on.

Answer 3

it means 10 meters per second per second and refers to acceleration.
If an object is standing still and one second later it is going 10 meters per second, then its average acceleration was 10 meters per second per second - its velocity increased by 10 units of velocity each second.
If this object continues with the same uniform acceleration, it will be going 20 at 2 seconds, 30 at 3, and so on.

Answer 4

meters per sec squared or meters per sec per sec is a unit used to measure acceleration (change in velocity)
Let's use an example.

say an object is accelerating at 10 m/s/s
this means that it's velocity is increasing (or decreasing, depending) 10 meters/ sec every second.

Answer 5

Every second it's velocity (speed) is increasing by 10 meters/second. Aka, the object is accelerating (getting faster and faster).

Answer 6

None of the above. It would be (b), but the acceleration on Earth that is caused by gravity is only 9.8 meters per second squared.

Answer 7

10 Meters Per Second

Answer 8

Also translated as "Ten Metres per second per second."

It's an acceleration.

You'd be accelerating at 10m/s every second.

so your velocity after

1s = 10m/s
2s = 20m/s
3s = 30m/s
etc.
