Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the initial velocity of a particle that has an acceleration of 6.09 m/s² over a time interval of 0.350 seconds, concluding with a final velocity of 9.41 m/s. Participants are exploring the principles of motion and relevant equations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to apply motion equations to find the initial velocity. Some are questioning whether the initial velocity could be zero based on the principles of motion.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different interpretations of the problem. Some have offered guidance by referencing relevant equations, while others are questioning the assumptions made about the initial state of the particle.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some confusion regarding the initial conditions and the application of motion equations. Participants are also reflecting on the implications of external forces on the state of motion.

A particle has an acceleration of 6.09m/s for 0.350s . At the end of this time the particle's velocity is 9.41

How do I find the inital velocity

Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force

So would the answer be zero?

Sorry I asked for wrong thing, I was referring to motion equations. I have corrected my post.

But, you are wrong.
