SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on rearranging the equation for average acceleration (Aav) to solve for final velocity (Vf), initial velocity (Vi), and time interval (t). The correct formulas derived include Vf = Vi + Aav(t), Vi = Vf - Aav(t), and t = (Vf - Vi) / Aav. Participants confirmed the accuracy of these equations, ensuring clarity in the manipulation of the formulas.

Rearranging equations !

Homework Statement



Rewrite the equations to solve for the following
1) final velocity 2) initial velocity 3)time interval

Homework Equations



Aav = Vf-Vi/t
Aav is average acceleration
Vf is final velocity
Vi is initial velocity
t is delta T which is the displacement in time

The Attempt at a Solution


1) vf= vi+Aav(t)

The Attempt at a Solution


1) vf= vi+Aav(t)


yes this is correct. Now what of the rest?
 


Vf - aav(t)=vi

Aav(t)+vi=vf

t=vf-vi/aav

Are these right excuse the sloppy formulas I am typing this from my iPod touch
 


yes they all look correct to me.
 


Great thanks for taking the time to look them over. I appreciate it :)
