The discussion revolves around a kinematics problem involving an object moving with a specified acceleration and the time required to cover a certain distance. The original poster presents a scenario with an acceleration of 1.25 m/s² and a distance of 15 meters.
Some participants have provided clarifications regarding the definitions of acceleration and velocity, and there seems to be an acknowledgment of the need to convert acceleration into velocity for further analysis. However, there is no explicit consensus on the approach to take.
The original poster's question appears to assume a direct relationship between acceleration and the time to reach a distance, which some participants are questioning. There may be a lack of clarity regarding the initial conditions necessary for solving the problem.
1.25 m/s^2 is an acceelration, not a velocity. See also:Thegiver431 said:For example if an object moves at 1.25 m/s^2,
Did you mean that to be an acceleration or a speed (in m/s)?Thegiver431 said:For example if an object moves at 1.25 m/s^2
What do you think?Thegiver431 said:then how long will it take to move 15 meters?
