How do you find acceleration using mass and velocity?
Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time(derivative of velocity with respect to time). If you have a graph or chart of velocity values vs time, then you can calculate (change in velocity) / (change in time). This is the slope of the graph at a specific point in time.Mass, along with acceleration determines force.
What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?
Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
How do you go from a position graph to a velocity graph?
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.
How do you find the distance from a velocity time graph?
this time is basically the instant when an object has a particular velocity(instantaneous velocity). so on the graph draw a line from the particular value of the velocity and then draw a vertical line on time axis to find the time for that velocity.
How do you find instantaneous velocity from position time graph?
You can't, since the slope of the graph means average velocity and the area of the graph has no meaning. The only way to find instantaneous velocity from position-time gragh is by plugging the data into the kinematic equations to get the answer. Edit: Actually you can if you take the derivative of the equation of the curve it will give you the equation of the velocity curve
How do you find the time acquired by initial velocity in an acceleration -time graph?
t=(vf-vi)/a
How do you find velocity with no acceleration or time?
Velocity can only be identified by acceleration or time, even though we can also find it using force
How do you find the average velocity on a graph?
The answer depends on what variables the graph shows.
Find position given velocity vs time graph?
postion is the area under the slope
How do you find the initial velocity from an acceleration -time graph?
You cannot find the initial velocity from an acceleration-time graph on its own. What you can do is find the change in velocity over the first T units of time. This is the area under the a-t graph from t = 0 to t = T. This may be a simple calculation of the area of a rectangle or a trapezium or may require integration. But, like all integrations, you end up with an unknown constant - in this case the initial velocity. You must have some additional information - usually a boundary condition - that allows you to find this constant and so the initial velocity.
How do you find components of the velocity with a given force acceleration and time?
You do not need force. Velocity is the integral of acceleration with respect to time. The orthogonal components of acceleration can be integrated independently to give the orthogonal components of velocity.
How can you obtain the average velocity from a displacement time graph?
-- Pick two points on the graph. -- Find the difference in time between the two points. -- Find the difference in displacement between the same two points. -- (Difference in displacement) divided by (difference in time) is the average Speed . You can't tell anything about velocity from the graph except its magnitude, because the graph displays no information regarding the direction of motion.
