It is a feature of the actual system, yes. The object in question receives "bursts" of acceleration across a given distance that weaken from one terminal to the next

i have a set of different acceleration values that stop and start at set distances, and i need the final velocity. i made a graph that might be helpful... MIGHT BE...

.

listen, gneill, i already calculated the force/acceleration. i just need the equations to get velocity from distance and varying acceleration. don't worry about my magnets, i already have that sorted. i just don't know what equations i need for varying acceleration. and the equation I've been...

hmm... that might end up being useful... got some equations for me?

care to go into a little more depth? i can do math, i just don't know what math i have to do, you know?

thats what i thought to do, but it seems I'm using the wrong formulae for the problem, on account of the backwards reults

right, but my variables are acc and distance, not acc and time, so would the answer be; √(2 times area under graph)?

I thought i would do some digging into the wonderful world of magnets, and I found some things that... well are real head scratchers... I was wondering if anyone here could help me wrap my brain around non uniform acceleration. I'm trying to calculate velocity using distance and varying...
