18:51:12 Intro Prob 6 given init vel, accel, `dt find final vel, dist If initial velocity is v0, acceleration is a and time interval is `dt, then in symbols what are the final velocity vf and the displacement `ds?

RESPONSE --> a=v0-vf/dt confidence assessment: 3

18:51:45 **You would use accel. and `dt to find `dv: a * `dt = `dv. Adding `dv to initial vel. vo you get final vel. Then average initial vel. and final vel. to get ave. vel.: (v0 + vf) / 2 = ave. vel. You would then multiply ave. vel. and `dt together to get the distance. For example if a = 3 m/s^2, `dt = 5 s and v0 = 3 m/s: 3 m/s^2 * 5 s = 15 m/s = `dv 15 m/s + 3 m/s = 18 m/s = fin. vel. (18 m/s + 3 m/s) / 2 = 10.5 m/s = vAve 10.5 m/s * 5 s = 52.5 m = dist. In more abbreviated form: a * `dt = `dv v0 + `dv = vf (vf + v0) /2 = vAve vAve * `dt = `ds so `ds = (vf + v0) / 2 * `dt. **

18:58:41 ** Since accel is uniform vAve = (v0 + vf) / 2. Thus displacement is `ds = vAve * `dt = (v0 + vf) / 2 * `dt, which is the first equation of uniformly accelerated motion. **

19:03:34 Describe the flow diagram we obtain for the situation in which we know v0, vf and `dt.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> in the flow diagram, v0, vf and dt would be independent of each other on the graph. so therefore it would be 3 different lines showing the flow of each confidence assessment: 2
