How to find lateral velocity from lateral acceleration?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Forward acceleration is easy to quantify and understand. Forward acceleration is simply the rate of
change in speed. In car terms, the quicker the car accelerates, the quicker the speedometer moves.
People in the car can also feel the acceleration push them back into the seat, or into the seatbelt for
deceleration.
Let's say a car's speed accelerating from a stoplight can be measured with the formula y(t)=x where y(t)
is the cars speed over a period of time (t). Realistically, we could gather this data by recording speed at
regular intervals of time. A second person in the car could act as a recorder, and at every second, they
record the speed. Those points can be graphed, then write an equation for the line the points made.
