equation of motion (1 Viewer)

[MongMan]

Question asks for "equation of motion". Does it want a function of acceleration in terms of time... or the full gambit? (ie displacment and velocity)

 

[Timothy.Siu]

if its asks for AN equation of motion you can probably just write any.

i usually see the term "equation of motion" refering to an expression for the acceleration of the particle

e.g. x''=kv^2

Equation of motion is DEFINATELY acceleration

Equation of motion is DEFINATELY acceleration

might be true for HSC, not true in general. Look up Euler - Lagrange equation.
Its an equation of motion, using energies, with no acceleration explicitly.
