Hi, this is alittle late but here is my physics class question.
How do we come up with the average velocity? Also, do you
always have to sketch a graph to come up with the angular
acceleration or is it just helpful?
Average velocity is defined as the average rate of change of position with respect to clock time, and average acceleration is the average rate of change of velocity with respect to clock time.
We come to understand these concepts by thinking about them numerically, graphically, symbolically and verbally. All four modes of understanding are necessary. While we can work out a problem in any one of these ways, that we reason out the problem in all four ways. This leads us to the deeper understanding we'll need in order to solve complex problems and our understanding.
