What is a good equation to use to find Delta T (time)?

AI Thread Summary
To find Delta T (time), the equation delta t = t2 - t1 is commonly used, where t1 and t2 are known time values. If initial and final velocities, as well as displacement (delta X) and acceleration, are provided, the appropriate formula to calculate time can be derived from kinematic equations. The definition of acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. For a scenario with constant acceleration, the equation t = (v_f - v_i) / a can be utilized, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and a is acceleration. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving time-related physics problems.

Physics news on Phys.org
You should be more specific as to what is given. For example
delta t=t2-t1
where the t terms are known.
 
i have velocity initial and final, delta X and i have acceleration but i can't remember the formula to find time from that.
 
What's the definition of acceleration?
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
