I'm Wishing To Make A Few Notes About Some Things About Physics , I So Thought in Equation Torricelli, Is An Equation that All Beginner Will See !

The Equation Is An Equation Torricelli kinematic was discovered by Evangelista Torricelli, one whose function is the ability to calculate the final speed of a body in uniform rectilinear motion varied (accelerated motion) without having to know the time interval in which this remained movimento. the great advantage of this equation is that the time factor does not existe.

The equation has the form:

Where $v_f$ and $v_o$ Represent the initial and final velocities of the body, respectively, $\Delta s$ represents the distance traveled and $a$ is the acceleration.

This equation can be deduced from the following equations:

Isolating $t$ in the second equation :

And replacing it with the first, We have to :

Examples

I ) A motorcycle has an initial speed of $20 m/s$ and acquires a constant acceleration equal to $2m / s^2$ . Calculate your speed in $m / s$ to cover $100 m$

Solution :

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2a \Delta s$

$v^2= 20^2+2.2.100$

$v^2 = 400+400$

$v^2 = 800$

$v = \sqrt{800}$

$\boxed{v = 28,28 m/s }$

II ) A particle initially at rest shall be accelerated continuously at a rate of $3.0 m/s^2$ in the direction of the trajectory. Having driven $24 m$ , its speed is :

Solution :

Removing the text data, We have :

$v_o = 0$

$a = 3 m/s^2$

$\Delta s = 24 m$

As we do not know the time of movement applies to equation Torricelli :

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2a \Delta s$

$v^2 = 0 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 24$

$v^2 = 144$

$\boxed{v = 12 m/s}$

III ) A driver is traveling by car on a highway at a constant speed of $90 km / h$ , when he notices a horse in front of him and decides to stop printing a constant deceleration of $18 km / h$ per second. Calculate the minimum stopping distance in meters.

Solution :

First we transform the initial speed of $km / h$ to $m / s$ , then we will analyze the acceleration as it slows down when the driver indicates that he steps on the brakes, ie, have a negative acceleration that is in $km / h$ and needs to be transformed in $m / s$ by $s$ will be the same as $m / s^2$ .

$v_o = 90km / h = 25 m / s$

$a = 18 km / h = - 5m / s^2$

$v = 0$

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2a \Delta s$

$0^2 = 25^2 +2.(-5). \Delta s$

$0 = 625 - 10 \Delta s$

$-625 = -10 \Delta s$

$- \Delta s = \frac{625}{-10}$ (Isolating the variable)

$- \Delta s = - 62.5$

$\boxed{\Delta s = 62,5m}$

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

There is also an equation for finding displacement in a certain second.

$s_n=u+\frac{1}{2}a(2n-1)$ , where $s_n$ is the displacement in the $n^{th}$ second, $u$ is the initial velocity at $t=0$ , and $a$ is the constant acceleration.

can you please derive the equation? it works,, but with respect to dimensions i found it a little weird.

hardik nanavati - 7 years, 1 month ago

Sure. Here is the derivation.

Say a particle is at point $O$ at $t=0$ . The particle moves in a straight line under constant acceleration to a point $P$ in time $t=n-1$ , and then to a point $Q$ in time $t=n$ . Thus, displacement in the $n^{th}$ second is just $OQ-OP$ .

Using the formula for displacement, $s=ut+\frac12(a)(t^2)$

$OQ=un+\frac12(a)(n^2)$

$OP=u(n-1)+\frac12(a)((n-1)^2)$

Thus, $OP-OQ=\boxed{s_n= u + \frac12(a)(2n-1)}$

I realise that the dimensions do not add up, but you have to consider $t=1$ and the formula is derived, and is true for all forms of straight line uniform motion.

@Nanayaranaraknas Vahdam – good one, and it`s very convincing , thanks!!!

hardik nanavati - 7 years ago

@Nanayaranaraknas Vahdam – using calculus is much more easy

Souradeep Roy Choudhury - 7 years ago

@Nanayaranaraknas Vahdam – Dimensions do add up. It is not simply "u" but .." u * 1sec."

Niranjan Khanderia - 6 years, 9 months ago

The derivation is very simple by calculus.

@Gabriel Merces Hi Gabriel can you do a note on rotational mechanics please

Saurav Sharma - 7 years, 1 month ago

this equation can also be derived from calculus

If a mass m moves a distance s with uniform acceleration a, looses its velocity from Vo to V, equating work and kinetic energy, we get WD = loss in KE..> $\\ m * a * s=1/2mVo^2-1/2*m*V^2 \implies$ your equation directly. It is from the energy equation.
