The discussion revolves around calculating acceleration from a given position function R(t) at a specific time, t = 1/1.1 seconds. The context involves understanding the relationship between position and acceleration in the framework of physics, particularly in kinematics.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clearer explanations and attempting to understand the requirements of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need to clarify the problem statement and the time specification.
There is a noted confusion regarding the time expression used (1/1.1 seconds) and its implications for the calculation. Participants are also addressing the need for complete problem wording to facilitate better understanding.
How do you go from an expression for position to one for acceleration?mike32 said:
Do you mean literally ##\frac {1}{1.1}## seconds? That is a very odd way to specify the time.mike32 said:
