How do you find average speed during acceleration?

To find the average speed during acceleration, you can calculate the average speed as the initial speed plus the final speed divided by 2. If you know the initial and final velocities, you can find the average speed over that acceleration period. Alternatively, you can use the formula: average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken.


Why can't you use the speed equation to calculate instantaneous speed?

The complication that arises is that, when you divide distance by time, you divide zero by zero. However, you can take the limit - explore what happens when the time gets smaller and smaller, but NOT QUITE equal to zero.


What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?

Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.


How do you calculate speed from force?

To calculate speed from force, you would first need to determine the acceleration by dividing the force by the mass of the object. Once you have determined the acceleration, you can use the equation v = u + at, where v is the final speed, u is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time taken. By rearranging this equation, you can find the final speed of the object.


What is the average speed of the object during the first 4 seconds?

To calculate average speed, divide the total distance traveled by the time taken. If you have the distance and time values for the first 4 seconds, you can use this formula to find the average speed over that time interval.

How do you find the wave speed with the wavelength and amplitude?

Not enough information. You can use the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, but in this case, you don't have enough data to calculate the speed.


What equation do you use to find the speed of a volleyball spike in mph?

I don't know how that could be determined mathematically, except in theory. Normally they use radar.

Why do you use average speed?

The concept of average speed is somewhat simpler than "instantaneous speed".

How can I Calculate average velocity without time?

Will you settle for average speed ?The general method for solving any problem is to use what you do know in orderto find the answer. Generally, you never use something you don't know, right ?Well, you told us what you don't have, but neglected to mention what you do have.If you know starting and ending speed, then average speed = 1/2 (starting speed + ending speed).If you know distance and acceleration, then time = sqrt( 2 x distance / acceleration).Then you have time and distance, and you can find average speed.

How do you find the speed of a projectile?

To find the average velocity of a projectile, use V = D/T (Velocity equals Displacement over Time).


What equation do you use to find ohms?

Use the equation that shows the relationship between ohms and the properties that are known.


What is the frequency of a wave with the wavelength of 3m?

To find the frequency of a wave, you can use the equation: frequency (f) = speed of the wave (v) / wavelength (λ). If the wavelength is 3m and you know the speed of the wave (for example, in air at room temperature it is about 343 m/s), you can calculate the frequency using this equation.
