Best Answer

Many, many, many, many different ways.

o = initial

First option: v=vo+at

Second option: v^2=vo^2+2a(x-xo)

Third option: y=yo+vot+(1/2)at^2

Fourth option: y=(v^2-vo^2)/(2a)

etc...

However, you will have to use your basic algebraic skills to isolate initial velocity.

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 20 m calculate its initial speed take g10 ms-2?

Its initial speed cannot be 20 m, as stated in the question. Secondly, if the initial speed is correctly given, then there is no need to calculate it!


Can you calculate the initial speed from speed-time graph?

Yes.


How do you calculate initial speed without time given?

distance divided by speed is equal to timetraveled.


How do you calculate speed without distance?

If you know the initial speed (u), acceleration (a) and time (t), then the final speed, v = u + at.

True


What is initial speed?

initial speed means first


What is the definition of initial speed?

Initial speed is the original, beginning speed of an object.


If a car is speeding up its initial speed is what than its final speed?

Its initial speed is less than its final speed.


What is the acceleration for meters per second?

This is imposible to calculate. In order to find acceleration, knowlege of at least 3 of these variables must be given: initial speed, final speed, distance, and time.


How do you calculate friability?

initial - final / initial x 100


A car accelerate uniformly from 6.6 m s in 6.5 seconds whats the distance the car travels during that time?

Not enough information. You also need to know how much the acceleration is. Once you know that, calculate the final speed, then calculate the average speed as (initial speed + final speed) / 2, and multiply that by the time to get the distance.


How do you calculate the initial speed?

v2 = u2+ 2as where v squares is the final velocity , u squared is the initial velocity , a is the acceleration and s is the distance travelled. If it is free fall take a = 10m/s squared ( as gravity ).
