AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking help with a velocity and displacement problem but failing to provide the actual problem details, only sharing relevant formulas. Participants express frustration over the lack of clarity and the absence of a specific question, emphasizing that without the problem, assistance cannot be given. One user, an advanced placement physics teacher, notes that they would have helped if the complete question had been presented. The conversation highlights the importance of providing full context when seeking help in forums. Overall, clear communication is essential for effective assistance in problem-solving discussions.

[SOLVED] Can you answer this question?

I get confused on velocity and displacement. I have a problem here can somebody tell me what's missing to solve it??

Here are the formulas:

Delta x=1/2 (vi+vf)delta t----a
vf=vi+a (delta t)----- delta x

Thanks if you can solve it!:smile: :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It is not clear what you wish solved for, nor is it clear what your problem is. Could you please explain your problem in a bit more detail?
 
Hey doc, I'm here, I made it:wink:

Those are formulas that I gave. I didn't really gave out the problems, lol. Anyways, I hope this forum can help me:smile: Thanks for this suggestion, Doc!
 
So, perhaps if you were to share more of the problem you would get some help.
 
That is XtinasVoicewithins original question who has posted in this thread just recently.:smile:
 
To Darkxtina and XtinaVoiceWithin:

This makes no sense at all. You give formulas and ask "What's missing to solve?" Well, what's missing is a problem to solve! Darkxtina gives a link which just has the same formulas. XtinaVoiceWithin (who apparently is different from Darkxtina and posted the orginal "question") says " I didn't really gave out the problems, lol. Anyways, I hope this forum can help me."

No, this forum cannot help you until you tell what the problems are!
 
That's what I said, I didn't gave out the problems, just the formulas.
It was late at night, I didn't at all explain it.

What I mean is that, in the future,when I give out the problems and everything that is given, hopefully someone can help me.



No, this forum cannot help you until you tell what the problems are!
I feel like you're screaming at me. That's pretty common sense.
 
This was just a simple misunderstanding because she only gave us half the question and she will be more detailed next time because it was late at night and she had to go to bed.[zz)] I am an advanced placement High School Physics teacher and I would have answered her question if I had the whole question myself but I was just seeing if anybody here could pull off a miracle and make sense of this question and answer it correctly. Thanks for your time everybody! :wink: :smile:

This fourm is not a chat room, if you have a problem you wish help with, post it. If you do not take your chatter to AIM or some other empty headed chat room. This entire thread is a waste of electrons.

The reason I "yelled" (actually, that was kind of mild for me!) was that she didn't bother to say that she WOULD post the problem later, or that it was late at night- she noted that she HADN'T posted the problem originally (and added "lol").

How would you feel if, as a tutor, someone came to you, gave you some formulas and, when you asked "well, what IS the problem", looked at you , said "Oh, I didn't give you the problem", and LAUGHED?
