say x = 0 at start, t = 0
x = 80 at t = 7
v = 15 at x = 80 and t = 7
v = Vo + a t
x = 0 + Vo t + .5 a t^2
so
15 = Vo + 7 a
80 = Vo (7) +.5 a (49)
solve those two equations for Vo and a
could you explain simpler . i get condfused easily im in 10th grade taking 12 grade classes its tough. any help will do
ok, you have 2 equations in your physics book for constant acceleration
velocity = initial velocity + acceleration times time
or
v = Vo + a t
position = initial position + initial velocity times time + half of acceleration times time squared
or
x = Xo + Vo t +(1/2) a t^2
here I called Xo, initial position zero and x after 7 seconds was 80
so
80 = 0 + Vo (7) + (1/2) a (7)^2
and I know final velocity at t = 7 is 15 but I do not know Vo
so
15 = Vo + a (7)
They may have used different letters and so forth, but the equations are there in the book I am sure.
ashley got the function stuff ok and we will get this as well.
thank you damon. i know we will
