  • A Question a Day (series) Q3

    The equation v = a*del_t is sometimes used to find velocity when acceleration and time are known. Another form of this equation is v = v_0 + a*del_t. In this second form of the equation, the function of the term v_0 is to: A. indicate that the equation is valid only for an object that…
