You must have been given some equations to look at? Are you using a textbook? No notes from class? This should be a plug and chug type problem.ExaltedProphecy said:I'm not sure what I can do with the given info
Is it possible to link to that sheet here?ExaltedProphecy said:there is nothing, it was a sheet online that my teacher gave to me.
What are the kinematics equations that you know?ExaltedProphecy said:there is nothing, it was a sheet online that my teacher gave to me.
We just started physics, and are currently on the unit of Motion in a straight line in kinematics. we were told to use any formulas we know (5 main kinematics) but I am not sure where to find the remaining variable
You got to work with us. Which of the equations is your best guess to use?ExaltedProphecy said:there called the 5 main kinematics equations. its faster to search it up then putting them in this
Some other readers may be interested how you figured it out?ExaltedProphecy said:its ok, i figured it out, thanks
I put the information from the cop into 2 separate formulas. Then I substituted 1 formula into the other, creating a quadratic. I then used the quadratic formula, keeping the positive amount as my final answerGreg Bernhardt said:Some other readers may be interested how you figured it out?
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity over time. It is typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2) or in terms of the force applied to an object. Acceleration can be measured using tools such as accelerometers or by analyzing an object's position over time.
Acceleration is caused by a force acting on an object. This force can be due to gravity, friction, or other external forces. In the absence of any external forces, an object will maintain a constant velocity and have no acceleration.
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the change in an object's velocity by the change in time. This can be represented by the equation a = (vf - vi) / t, where a is acceleration, vf is final velocity, vi is initial velocity, and t is time.
While acceleration and velocity are related, they are not the same thing. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. In simpler terms, velocity tells us how fast an object is moving and in what direction, while acceleration tells us how quickly an object's velocity is changing.
Acceleration can affect motion in a variety of ways. If an object is accelerating, it will change its velocity, either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The magnitude and direction of acceleration will determine how an object's motion is affected. For example, if an object is accelerating in the same direction as its velocity, it will speed up. On the other hand, if it is accelerating in the opposite direction, it will slow down.
