Calculating Variable Acceleration for UAV Recovery

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the variable acceleration of a UAV being recovered on a patrol boat, the initial and final velocities, mass, and time step for the recovery are essential. The acceleration can be determined using the formula a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. This acceleration is crucial for calculating the recovery distance. Regular meetings with a supervisor are recommended to ensure guidance and support throughout the process.

Im trying to calculate the variable acceleration of UAV being recovered on a patrol boat. I have the inital velocity, the final velocity, the mass. In the long run i need this acceleration to calculate the recovery distance. I can iterate a time step for the recovery so time is also known. can anyone help?

Your supervisor should help you get started, talk to them and try to arrange weekly meetings.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
