A negative instantaneous acceleration means the velocity is decreasing. If it is positive, our velocity is increasing. Using Calculus to Find Acceleration Acceleration is measured as the change in velocity over change in time (ΔV/Δt), where Δ is shorthand for “change in”. For example, le...
In order to find the instantaneous velocity of the particle previously discussed at point P_1, we must move point P_2 closer to point P_1 and calculate the average velocities between the two points as they become exceedingly closer. As Δ_x and Δ_t become smaller, the ratio Δ_x/Δ_...

The Average Acceleration Equation Average Velocity of an Object Think of a car on a highway. If you want to know how fast it's going, and the speedometer isn't working, you pick two points on its path, x1 and x2, and you look at your clock as the car passes each point. The car...
Damien has a master's degree in physics and has taught physics lab to college students.Cite this lesson Angular velocity and linear velocity are the two types of object velocity. Learn how to find the angular velocity of an object and understand how to convert it to linear velocity. Angular...
from Chapter 1 / Lesson 1 247K Learn about the concept of position in physics. Find out how to use the position equation to write the position vector of an object. See examples of calculations based on the position of an object...
The Many-Worlds theory of quantum mechanics supposes that for each possible outcome of any given action, the universe splits to accommodate each one. This theory takes the observer out of the equation. No longer are we able to influence the outcome of an event simply by observing ...
