Graphing Acceleration: Steps and Formulas Explained

When theta is obtuse, the slope is negative, which is the negative of v0/x0 on the x-axis.
The first step involves identifying the nature of the graph as a straight line.
The second step is obtaining the relevant equation.
The third step requires using the relevant calculus method, where the equation is x0*x + v0.
To transition from velocity to acceleration via displacement, the formula a = v dv/dx is utilized.
Differentiating the equation with respect to x yields dv/dx = -v0/x0.
This differentiation leads to the equation for acceleration: v0^2/x0^2 * x - v0^2/x0.
The relationship between acceleration and displacement follows the equation a = mx - c, resembling a straight line equation.
With a single power on the displacement axis, the equation resembles y = mx + c, with a positive slope and negative intercept.

Tower height, time, and relative motion explained.

The height of the tower is represented as h, and when an object is dropped, its initial velocity is zero.
The equation for the height of the tower is h = 1/2 * g * t^2, where h is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is time.
Another equation is derived as h - 40 = 1/2 * g * (t - 2)^2, where 40 represents a specific height and t - 2 indicates a time difference.
By substituting the first equation into the second, the value of t is calculated to be 6 seconds, determining the total time of the journey.
The total height of the tower is found to be 180 meters by substituting the time value into the initial equation.
A mistake is corrected, and the correct time is determined to be 3 seconds, leading to a height of 45 meters for the tower.
