Acceleration Velocity Ba748C
1. The problem is to identify some of the easiest formulas for acceleration and velocity in physics.
2. The key formulas are:
- Velocity: $v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$ where $\Delta x$ is displacement and $\Delta t$ is time interval.
- Acceleration: $a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ where $\Delta v$ is change in velocity and $\Delta t$ is time interval.
3. Important rules:
- Velocity is how fast something moves in a direction.
- Acceleration is how quickly velocity changes.
- Both formulas use changes over time.
4. Example: If a car moves 100 meters in 5 seconds, velocity is $v = \frac{100}{5} = 20$ meters per second.
5. If the velocity changes from 0 to 20 meters per second in 4 seconds, acceleration is $a = \frac{20 - 0}{4} = 5$ meters per second squared.
These formulas are simple and fundamental for solving many physics problems involving motion.
