Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding an appropriate equation to calculate Delta T (time) in various contexts, including kinematics. Participants explore different variables and equations that may relate to time calculation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests using the equation delta t = t2 - t1, indicating that specific known values are necessary for calculation.
  • Another participant mentions having initial and final velocities, delta X, and acceleration but is uncertain about the formula to derive time from these variables.
  • A further inquiry is made regarding the definition of acceleration, which may relate to understanding the context of time calculation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on a specific equation for Delta T, and multiple approaches and uncertainties remain in the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the context of the problem are not explicitly stated, such as the specific conditions under which the equations apply or the relationships between the variables involved.

What is a good equation to use to find Delta T (time)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You should be more specific as to what is given. For example
delta t=t2-t1
where the t terms are known.
 
i have velocity initial and final, delta X and i have acceleration but i can't remember the formula to find time from that.
 
What's the definition of acceleration?
