The answer will depend on the conditions under which the body is moving and how sophisticated your calculations need to be.

On (or near) the surface of the earth, if the body had velocity v0 ms-1 at time t0 seconds then in the simple model, its velocity at time t seconds will be v = v0 - 9.81*t ms-1 (approx). The vertical distance will be v0t - 9.81t2 metres. In a more sophisticated model you would include air resistance. Also if v0 is large, it is possible that the height attained is large enough to affect deceleration due to gravity.

How to find the vertical velocity of an object in motion?

To find the vertical velocity of an object in motion, you can use the formula: vertical velocity initial vertical velocity (acceleration due to gravity x time). This formula takes into account the object's starting vertical velocity, the acceleration due to gravity (usually -9.8 m/s2), and the time the object has been in motion. By plugging in the values for these variables, you can calculate the vertical velocity of the object.


How do you find time when you know the distance and the velocity?

distance/velocity = time


How do you find distance when you know the time and velocity?

Simple, velocity = distance by time ,which probably means distance = velocity X times.


What is the formula to find time in seconds from velocity and distance?

Distance divided by velocity = time


How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?

Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.


In projectile motion What Angle would horizontal and vertical distance be equal?

In projectile motion, the horizontal distance will be at its maximum when the angle is 45 degrees. At this angle, the vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity are equal, resulting in maximum range.


Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?

No, horizontal velocity does not affect the rate of vertical velocity. Each component of velocity (horizontal and vertical) is independent of the other. They act separately to determine the motion of an object.


How does the angle of release affect the motion of a projectile both vertical and horizontal?

Smaller angles will result in a larger horizontal velocity and smaller vertical velocity. The times of flight will also be shorter since it's closer to the ground. Larger angles have a larger vertical velocity and smaller horizontal velocity. Time of flight will be much longer since it is higher above the ground. As for distance, 45 degrees will result in the greatest distance and for every distance before the furthest one there is an angle above 45 degrees and an angle below 45 degrees that will result in that distance.


If you know the velocity and the distance but not the time which way do you divide velocity divided by distance or distance divided by velocity?

To find the time when you know the distance and velocity but not the time, you should divide distance by velocity. This is because time equals distance divided by velocity (time = distance/velocity).


How can one find the acceleration of an object using the given distance and time measurements?

To find the acceleration of an object, you can use the formula: acceleration change in velocity / time taken. If you have the distance and time measurements, you can calculate the velocity by dividing the distance by the time. Then, you can find the change in velocity by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity. Finally, divide the change in velocity by the time taken to find the acceleration.


How to find the velocity of an object in motion?

To find the velocity of an object in motion, you can calculate it by dividing the distance the object travels by the time it takes to travel that distance. This formula is expressed as velocity distance/time. The velocity is a measure of how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.


How can you find velocity?

Velocity is distance divided by time. (v=d/t)
