bullroar_86 said:if an object has an acceleration of 22.3 m/s^2 [63.9 degrees E of S]
what is its "velocity as a function of time"
not sure what that means.. any ideas?

vnot equals acceleration from the beginning of the problem.
v= velocity at a given time.
Velocity as a function of time is the rate of change of an object's displacement over time. It is a mathematical representation of an object's motion, showing how its velocity changes as time passes.
Velocity as a function of time can be calculated by taking the derivative of an object's position with respect to time. This can be done using the formula v(t) = x'(t), where v(t) is the velocity, x(t) is the position, and ' indicates the derivative.
Average velocity is the total displacement of an object divided by the total time it takes to travel that distance. Instantaneous velocity, on the other hand, is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. It can either increase or decrease an object's velocity depending on its direction. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the object will speed up. If the acceleration is in the opposite direction, the object will slow down.
There are many examples of velocity as a function of time in everyday life, such as a car accelerating from a stop sign, a cyclist pedaling up a hill, or a ball being thrown into the air. These all involve changes in velocity over time due to acceleration or deceleration.
