well i figured it out after i took a second look at my notes when you pointed out the definition of momentum, thanks for being so helpful :D.zexxa said:Oh I see if that's the case I hope you understood how the solution works! Cheerio
The formula for calculating final velocity is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time elapsed.
The direction of the final velocity can be determined by considering the direction of the initial velocity and acceleration. If they are in the same direction, the final velocity will have the same direction. If they are in opposite directions, the final velocity will have the direction of the larger force.
Yes, final velocity can be negative. A negative final velocity indicates that the object is moving in the opposite direction of the initial velocity or that it is decelerating.
Final velocity is typically measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h), depending on the context of the problem. It is important to use consistent units throughout the calculation.
If the acceleration is changing, the final velocity can be found by integrating the acceleration function with respect to time. Alternatively, you can divide the time interval into smaller intervals and calculate the final velocity for each interval using the formula v = u + at. Then, add all the final velocities to find the total final velocity.
