The discussion revolves around calculations related to Newton's Second Law, specifically focusing on the determination of acceleration and its implications in a given problem context.
Some participants have provided guidance on the need to clarify the calculation of time and the distinction between average and final velocity. There is an ongoing exploration of the correct methods to apply in the context of the problem, with no explicit consensus reached yet.
Participants are working with a specific problem statement and have shared their calculations, but there is a lack of complete information regarding the setup and parameters needed for accurate calculations.
To get the time you'll need the average velocity, not the final velocity.salooom599 said:V(final)= Displacemenet/Time << to get the time
Acceleration = ΔV/Time.then
Acceleration= V(final)/Time
