The discussion revolves around determining the velocity of an object as a function of time, given its acceleration of 22.3 m/s² at an angle of 63.9 degrees East of South. Participants are exploring the implications of this relationship in the context of kinematics.
The discussion is active, with participants providing hints and clarifications regarding the relationship between velocity and acceleration. There is an emphasis on understanding the vector nature of velocity and the initial conditions required for the equations being discussed.
Some participants express uncertainty about the definitions and roles of variables in the kinematic equations, particularly distinguishing between initial velocity and acceleration.
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?
ayalam said:v=vnot+at
vnot equals acceleration from the beginning of the problem.
v= velocity at a given time.
