B Acceleration -- How is the intermediate displacement speed derived?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application of SUVAT equations, particularly in the context of deriving intermediate displacement speed under constant acceleration. It emphasizes the importance of formulating clear questions to effectively solve problems in physics. A proposed formula for intermediate speed is critiqued, with corrections provided to align it with established SUVAT principles. The correct expression for speed is clarified, ensuring it meets the criteria for a valid physical equation. Understanding and applying SUVAT equations is essential for solving related motion problems accurately.

Do you know any SUVAT equations?

Thank you very much, I will google it
 
How do you know that the "SUVAT Equations" apply? I don't understand, which problem is to be solved to begin with. Without asking a clear question, you can't get anything done in science!

Since SUVAT involves constant-acceleration,
and constant-velocity (zero acceleration) is a special case,
consider your proposed formula in the zero-acceleration case, where ##v_0=v_B=v_T##
(where B represents the intermediate displacement: ##(x_B-x_0)=\frac{1}{2}(x_T-x_0)## in your time interval ##0\leq t\leq T##).

Assume ##v_B>0##.
Your proposed formula would read
$$v_B=\frac{\sqrt{(v_B)^2+(v_B)^2}}{2}=\frac{v_B}{\sqrt{2}}\qquad\mbox(false).$$
Instead, it should (based on the symbols available in your recollection) be
$$v_B=\sqrt{ \frac{(v_0)^2+(v_T)^2}{2}}$$
so that $$v_B=\sqrt{ \frac{(v_B)^2+(v_B)^2}{2}}=v_B.$$
(Technically, to be a speed, the left-hand side should be ##|v_B|##.)

Now, following @PeroK 's suggestion to your question,
this could be derived using SUVAT (the constant acceleration equations).
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
