You can't.
You only know what half the sum of (initial + final) is, (it's the average), but you don't know what the initial and final are.
Initial velocity is 10 m/s in the direction it was kicked. Final velocity is 0, when friction and air resistance finally causes it to come to a halt.
Suppose the two masses are m1 and m2. Their initial velocities are u1 and u2 and final velocities are v1 and v2. Then, using conservation of momentum. m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2 Both m1 and m2 are given. Their initial velocities u1 and u2 are given and one of the two final velocities v1 and v2 is given which leaves only one unknown. So substitute all those values and calculate away.
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
If you know average speed then you cannot determine the acceleration: the very nature of being a average hides all the increases and decreases in speed which are the accelerations (technically, acceleration is change of speed in a direction). All average speed tells you is the constant speed at which you require to travel to cover the given distance in the given time; as the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero.
If you have a particle with constant acceleration, and you add the initial and final velocities and then divide them by two, what you get is the average velocity of the particle in that period of time.
Both the gliders will be travelling at exactly the same speed as the initial velocity but in opposite directions.
We don't answer questions taken from copyrighted materials.
It is correct only if the object in question is subject to a constant acceleration.
Initial velocity is 10 m/s in the direction it was kicked. Final velocity is 0, when friction and air resistance finally causes it to come to a halt.
Suppose the two masses are m1 and m2. Their initial velocities are u1 and u2 and final velocities are v1 and v2. Then, using conservation of momentum. m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2 Both m1 and m2 are given. Their initial velocities u1 and u2 are given and one of the two final velocities v1 and v2 is given which leaves only one unknown. So substitute all those values and calculate away.
No, It is the average velocity.
Average acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/ final time - initial timeOr for short:Aave=Vf-Vi/Tf-TiHope that helps :)

Final velocity = (Initial velocity) + (time)(acceleration)
Average speed = 1/2 (initial speed + final speed) Time = (distance)/(average speed)
