Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the meaning of the acronym "LIM" in the context of physics. Participants explore its interpretation, particularly in relation to mathematical concepts such as limits.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for clarification on what "LIM" means in physics.
  • Another participant suggests that context is necessary to provide an accurate answer.
  • A third participant provides links to external resources that list possible meanings of "LIM."
  • A participant proposes a mathematical expression involving "lim," indicating that it refers to "limit" in the context of speed and time.
  • Another participant confirms that "LIM" means "limit" in this context and references a Wikipedia page on limits.
  • A moderator indicates that the thread will be moved to a different section focused on basic calculus.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that "LIM" refers to "limit," but the discussion lacks a consensus on its specific application without additional context.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the broader implications or applications of "LIM" in various physics contexts, and assumptions about its use in specific equations remain unexamined.

What does LIM means in Physics..?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You're going to have to give some context...
 
ok

IF a = speed than: a=lim*delta(v)/delta(t).

sorry for that, i haven't so many time and i am noobie to this forum. i register here few min ago so i just learning how everithing is moving here...

thanks for help!
