Best Answer

To calculate the distance traveled from a velocity-time graph, you need to calculate the area under the graph. The number of calculations you need to make, and the shapes you divide the area into will depend on the shape of the curve.

The skinnier you make the slices, and the more area measurements you make,

the more accurate your answer will be.

In the kind of math called "calculus", there's a way to work that problem as if the

width of the slices was zero and there was an infinite number of them, so that the answer comes out exactly right. It's called "integration."

How much space is cooled by 2 ton air conditioner?

A "General" calculation is 320 square feet (normal ceilings) per ton. However, please note that there are calculations involved with proper sizing of an AC unit. These calculations work off of "Degree Days" which produces a number based off the average heat for summer; Zones if you will. For instance if you live in zone 1 then your 2 ton unit can cool 680 square feet of home no problem, however in zone 5 it may only cool 320 square feet. Also note that these calculations (and online calculators) do not include insulation and other air leak problems.

1985 olds V 6 stalls when you floor it and dies what may be the problem?

try accelerating slowly. if it doesnt stall, you may have to keep accelerating slowly[until someone else can diagnose tyhe problem]


How do you figure out velocity?

Velocity is displacement divided by time. Displacement is different from distance traveled, as displacement states how far you traveled in RELATION to a starting point. The formula for Velocity is ---- v = x / t v = Velocity x = Displacement t = Time velocity is a vector quantity so the direction should also be specified unless it is implicit in the problem. ----
