Question #156935

Write dawn the relationship between acceleration, initial velocity and final velocity.


Expert's answer

By definition, the acceleration is (bold letters denote vectors):


a=dvdt\mathbf{a} = \dfrac{d\mathbf{v}}{dt}

where v\mathbf{v} is the instantaneous velocity, and tt is the time. Thus, to find the final velocity at some moment of time one should integrate acceleration with respect to tt:


vf=v0+∫t0tadt\mathbf{v}_f = \mathbf{v}_0 + \int_{t_0}^t\mathbf{a}dt

where vf\mathbf{v}_f is the final velocity, v0\mathbf{v}_0 is the initial velocity, t0,tt_0, t are initial and final moments of time respectively.


Answer. vf=v0+∫t0tadt\mathbf{v}_f = \mathbf{v}_0 + \int_{t_0}^t\mathbf{a}dt.
