What is s?tiny-tim said:hicneedshelp!
vi = 0
vf = 11.5
s = 15
and you want to find a …
so which of the standard https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=204" equations do you think you should use?
tiny-tim said:s is always distance
)tiny-tim said:what times??
(i don't see any times in the question
tiny-tim said:that formula certainly works if you know t
but you only know vi vf and s, and there is a formula using that information

tiny-tim said:no of course not

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time. It is a measurement of how quickly an object's speed is changing.
Average acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time it took for that change to occur. The formula for average acceleration is a = (vf - vi) / t, where a is acceleration, vf is final velocity, vi is initial velocity, and t is time.
Average acceleration refers to the overall change in velocity over a period of time, while instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at a specific moment in time. Average acceleration considers the entire motion of an object, while instantaneous acceleration only looks at a specific point in time.
The unit of measurement for average acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²) in the metric system. In the imperial system, it is measured in feet per second squared (ft/s²).
Average acceleration is used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and sports. In physics, it is used to describe the motion of objects and their changing velocity. In engineering, it is used to design and test machines and structures. In sports, it is used to analyze and improve the performance of athletes.
