    Speed Time
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the fundamental equations relating speed (v), road (s), and time (t), with their respective formulas: v = s/t, s = v*t, and t = s/v. It demonstrates how to derive each formula from the others and provides examples of calculations converting speed from meters per second to kilometers per hour and vice versa. The calculations show that a speed of 200 m/s equals 720 km/h, and further examples illustrate the relationships between distance, speed, and time. The thread concludes with a lack of clarity regarding its purpose, leading to its eventual lock.

Speed is expressed with v.
It's Unit is m(meter)/s(second) (m/s)
Formula:
v=s/t

Road is expressed with s.
It's unit is m(meter), (m)
Formula:
s=v*t.

Time is expressed with t.
It's unit is s(second) (s)
Formula:
t=s/v

---
Finding formulas:

(Finding s(road)).
Equation:
v=s/t*t=v*t=s/t*t/1=s*t/t(simplify t and t)= s . That means s=v*t

(Finding t(time))
After we found s formula, we can find the t formula, using the s formula.
Equation:
s=v*t:v=s/v=v*t/1:v/1=v*t/1*1/v=v*t/v(simplify v and v)=t . That means t=s/v

(Finding v(speed)).
After we found the s formula, using v formula, we can also find v formula using s formula.
Equation:
s=v*t:t=s/t=v*t/1:t/1=v*t/1*1/t=v*t/t(simplify t and t)=v. That means v=s/t

--------------------

The tasks:

v=200m/s=...km/h
v=200*1/1000m/1/3600s=200*3600h/1000km(simplify 2 zeros with 2 zeros)=7200h/10km(simplify 1 zero with 1 zero)=720km/h.

s=3,008km = 3008m
t=32h = 115200s
s=v*t:t=s/t=v*t/1:t/1=v*t/1*1/t=v*t/t(simplify t and t)=v=3008m/115200s=0.0261111m/s
---
v=0.0261111m/s
t=32h = 115200s
v=s/t*t=v*t=s/t*t/1=s*t/t(simplify t and t)=s=0.261111m/s*115200s(simplify s and s)=3007.9987m (almost 3008m(3,008km(s))).
---
v=0.0261111m/s
s=3,008km = 3008m
s=v*t:v=s/v=v*t/1:v/1=v*t/1*1/v=v*t/v(simplify v and v)=t=3008m/0.0261111m/s(simplify m and m)= 115200.04 (almost 115200s(t)).

Thank you,

And your question is...?
 
None?

So you just posted this because the formula's looked nice??
 
What's the purpose of the post then? :rolleyes:
 
Since the OP is apparently unable to explain the purpose of this thread, I am locking it.
 
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...
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...
