AI Thread Summary
To convert a velocity-time graph to a distance-time graph, calculate the area under the velocity-time curve for the desired time interval, as this represents the distance traveled. If the velocity-time graph is a straight line, the process is straightforward. Conversely, to derive a velocity-time graph from a distance-time graph, determine the slope of the distance-time curve at any point, which indicates the velocity. Additionally, the area under an acceleration-time graph provides the velocity. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing motion effectively.

So I understand how to draw velocity-time graph "from" distance graph and acceleration-time graph "from" velocity-time (basically the slope)

But I don't understand how to draw distance-time from velocity-time graph and velocity-time graph from distance-time graph.Please help! how would I do that?

Distance traveled in a particular time interval is the area under the velocity-time graph between those two times.
If the graph is a straight line (uniform or zero acceleration) then it's a simple matter.
Velocity is the area under the acceleration-time graph.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces not real just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
