I asked the questions about higher derivatives out of pure curiosity to see if they exist. The final derivative I was asking if existed, would be the deepest derivative possible to measure but your answer completely suffices. And the question shifted to the forces of atoms because when I Googled...
I'm in 11th grade of high school and I'm currently in Advanced Pre-Calc and AP Stats and I am teaching myself Physics from a textbook at home (which is Algebra based) because of my intense interest in physics. I also taught myself how to differentiate (on Wikipedia) because of the boredom I felt...
I'm trying to make sense as to how the equations combine to form that. I won't truly understand until I figure out how that equation was algebraically created.
EDIT: I finally figured it out:
##v = v_{0} + at##
##x = x_{0} + v_{avg}t##
##v_{avg} = \frac{v + v_{0}}{2}##
You plug the...
I was trying to solve for v, so I figured that since I had x, I could try to use it to solve for v, then solve for t and then plug it back into the equation. If this wasn't the right way, what way should I have went? I'm looking into my book and by the looks of it I'm just supposed to memorize...
Because ##v=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1}}{t}## and x1 = 0 and x2 = 100 so that's what it simplifies to. At least how I'm thinking of it that's how it is. How else am I supposed to go about this? Am I supposed to memorize the Uniformly Accelerated Motion equations?
So I acquired an old Physics textbook (Gioncoli Physics 2nd Edition) out of which I am attempting to learn classical mechanics from. It's in Algebra and not Calculus so I thought I could do it since I just completed Advanced Algebra 2 w/ Trigonometry this year. The first chapter is on Kinematics...
