AI Thread Summary
To find time when final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and distance are known, it's essential to determine if acceleration is constant. The discussion includes a practical example of two friends driving 50 km at different speeds, prompting calculations for wait time at the trip's end. The formula for speed can be derived from distance traveled divided by time taken. Converting speeds into hours per kilometer can simplify calculations. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving related physics problems effectively.

How do I find time when I already have final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration and distance?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It depends, is the acceleration constant?Do you have any ideas how you might find the time?What is the definition of acceleration?
 
Here's the question, Me and my friend drove 50 km. I travel at 90 km/hr, my friend traveled at 95 km/hr. How long will my friend wait for me at the end of the trip?
 
If you drove for 1 hour, how far would you travel? What about your friend?

What is the formula for calculating speed if you know distance traveled and the time it took?
 
An interesting idea is to convert each into hours per km, then just *50.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
