If you have a particle with constant acceleration, and you add the initial

and final velocities and then divide them by two, what you get is the average

velocity of the particle in that period of time.

What will be the acceleration of a car moving in a uniform acceleration?

You need the initial and final velocities, and time interval to answer this question.


How do you find the minimum uniform acceleration with out time?

You need initial and final velocities (U,V) and distance (S), > acceleration = (V2 - U2) / (2 * S)


Average velocity always equals one-half the sum of the initial and final velocities?

Is this a question? or a statement that you are unsure of? Well anyways, this would be correct if acceleration was a constant but if acceleration is not a constant, the (not-constant) acceleration would change the rate of velocity and thus that statement/question would be false.


What would be true if the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?

A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.


What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?

A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.


What equals acceleration x time?

It's equal to the change in velocity (final velocity - initial velocity).


How do you find final and initial velocities with the average velocity?

You can't.You only know what half the sum of (initial + final) is, (it's the average), but you don't know what the initial and final are.


is it correct that the average velocity is always equal to the mean value of initial and final velocities?

It is correct only if the object in question is subject to a constant acceleration.


How do you find final velocity given mass of both objects and there initial velocities and one of their final velocities?

Suppose the two masses are m1 and m2. Their initial velocities are u1 and u2 and final velocities are v1 and v2. Then, using conservation of momentum. m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2 Both m1 and m2 are given. Their initial velocities u1 and u2 are given and one of the two final velocities v1 and v2 is given which leaves only one unknown. So substitute all those values and calculate away.


How do you calculate an objects acceleration?

Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)


What equation can you use to find acceleration?

Acceleration equals the change in the velocity divided by time. The change in the velocity is found by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity. It is written as "a equals delta v over t."


What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?

the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
