How to get distance when acceleration is not constant?
This is not realistic. Instead, you will want some way of determining either the velocity or the acceleration as a function of time or position. In physics, it is common to be able to determine …
A simple derivation of the Centripetal Acceleration Formula?
Jul 12, 2015 · Could someone show me a simple and intuitive derivation of the Centripetal Acceleration Formula $a=v^2/r$, preferably one that does not involve calculus or advanced ...
Formula to determine acceleration based on constant energy input
Aug 4, 2017 · The equation is a diminishing increase in velocity with each unit of energy input per second. That is, it takes an ever increasing number of energy units to achieve the same …
Linear acceleration vs angular acceleration equation
It's the magnitude of the linear acceleration towards the centre of an object following a circular path at constant angular velocity. Angular acceleration is the derivative of angular velocity, and …
Is acceleration $a = s/t^2$, or $a = 2s/t^2$, or something third?
Acceleration is defined as $ a = \frac {s} {t^2}.$ Distance can be calculated as the area under velocity-time line; given a constant accelation, and an initial velocity of 0, this forms a triangle: …
Finding the acceleration constraint of multiple pulleys
May 27, 2019 · In this case you have 3 unknown accelerations so you need 3 constraints. You have derived one constraint equation so far, and the other 2 equations come from Newton's …
What does the magnitude of the acceleration mean? - Physics …
Feb 9, 2014 · The magnitude of the acceleration vector along the path is the time rate of change of speed. The magnitude of the acceleration vector normal to the path is the centripetal …
homework and exercises - Physics Stack Exchange
Every one knows the three famous equations for motions with constant acceleration . But what if the motion were having a jerk? How should then be the equations for motions? How can I find …
kinematics - Physics Stack Exchange
Aug 17, 2020 · Predictably, using this equation to calculate velocity yields incorrect results. I know acceleration is defined as velocity per time (without any $\frac {1} {2}$ in there), so I think I …
Calculate acceleration from power - Physics Stack Exchange
Wouldn't that be the equation from a static reference frame outside of the space ship? I thought a rocket engine provides a somehow constant acceleration or is that just because of the mass …
