ydoaPs Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 This is homework help forum, so what is the problem in question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 looks to me as if it's one of kinematic equations, used for calculating final velocities when initial, acceleration and distance traveled are known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I could have sworn it had more than two terms edit: Nope, that's right. [math]{v_f}^2={v_0}^2+2a{\Delta}x[/math] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 what is the formula Vf^2 = V0^2 + 2ax used for? Do you mean [math]V_f^2 = V_0^2 + 2ax[/math] Looks like a kinematics equation for calculating the final velocity given initial velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled.
