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 about this kind …
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. $\vec a\cdot \vec r=-ar$. …
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 = $2(...

Nov 13, 2014 · 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 …
Is acceleration $a = s/t^2$, or $a = 2s/t^2$, or something third?
Acceleration is defined as $ a = \frac {s} {t^2}.$ Distance can be calculated as the area under velocity-time line; given a constant accelation, and an initial velocity of 0, this forms a triangle: $ s = \frac …
Derivation of the centrifugal and coriolis force - Physics Stack Exchange
Dec 29, 2013 · I was wondering how easily these two pseudo-forces can be derived mathematically in order to exhibit a clear physical meaning. How would you proceed?
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 …
