  1. Why is acceleration's formula's denominator squared?

    Mar 20, 2025 · The acceleration can change over time and this is why this approximation breaks down if the acceleration changes too much within the time interval. If you want to know more …

  2. A simple derivation of the Centripetal Acceleration Formula?

    Jul 12, 2015 · For this proof I will assume two things The radius is constant, i.e. $\vec r\cdot \vec r=r^2=c$ The acceleration is in opposite direction to the position vector, i.e. $\vec a\cdot \vec …

  3. Intuitive explanation for why centripetal acceleration is $\frac {v^2 ...

    Jun 21, 2015 · There are several ways to write centripetal acceleration $$\\frac{v^2}{r} = \\omega^2 r = v \\omega$$ Are there intuitive explanations for any of these three forms? For …

  4. Distance formula using initial velocity and acceleration - Physics ...

    Distance formula using initial velocity and acceleration Ask Question Asked 9 years, 7 months ago Modified 2 years ago

  5. Determine acceleration from experiment (Newton 2nd Law)

    I have done a physics experiment (setup below). And was asked to determine the experimental and theoretical acceleration. The data I've got Ok, am I right to say Experimental acceleration …

  6. 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 …

  7. Uncertainty in acceleration given two velocities and two times

    Oct 19, 2020 · For example - The uncertainty of v1 is 0.005, the uncertainty of v2 is 0.012, the acceleration is 0.483 m/s^2 and the uncertainty in time is a constant 0.0001 as this was the …

  8. Acceleration of an object after overcoming static friction

    Apr 27, 2023 · The kinetic friction force always has magnitude $\mu_kN$, where $\mu_k<\mu_s$, and so the acceleration becomes $$ a=\frac {F_ {\textrm {total}}} {m}=\frac {F-\mu_kN} {m}\,. …

  9. 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 …

  10. 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 …
