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

The Attempt at a Solution


1) vf= vi+Aav(t)


yes this is correct. Now what of the rest?
 
  • #3


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

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

1. How do I rearrange an equation for final velocity?

To rearrange an equation for final velocity, isolate the variable for final velocity on one side of the equation. This can be done by using the inverse operations of the other variables in the equation. For example, if the equation is v = u + at, you can rearrange it to get v - u = at by subtracting u from both sides.

2. What is the equation for final velocity?

The equation for final velocity can vary depending on the situation, but it is typically v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time.

3. How do I calculate final velocity?

To calculate final velocity, you can use the equation v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time. Simply plug in the values for each variable and solve for v.

4. What is the difference between final velocity and initial velocity?

Final velocity is the velocity of an object at the end of a given time period, while initial velocity is the velocity of the object at the beginning of the same time period. Final velocity can be calculated using the initial velocity, acceleration, and time.

5. Can I use the equation for final velocity in any situation?

The equation for final velocity, v = u + at, is commonly used in physics and can be applied to many situations involving motion and acceleration. However, it may not be applicable to all scenarios and other equations may be needed for more complex situations.
