Physics formula

what is the formula Vf^2 = V0^2 + 2ax used for?

[ydoaPs]

Do you know what the terms in the equation mean?

[paulo1913]

not really....

[ydoaPs]

This is homework help forum, so what is the problem in question?

[Klaynos]

looks to me as if it's one of kinematic equations, used for calculating final velocities when initial, acceleration and distance traveled are known.

[ydoaPs]

I could have sworn it had more than two terms

 

edit: Nope, that's right.

[math]{v_f}^2={v_0}^2+2a{\Delta}x[/math]

[Mr Skeptic]

what is the formula Vf^2 = V0^2 + 2ax used for?

 

Do you mean

[math]V_f^2 = V_0^2 + 2ax[/math]

 

Looks like a kinematics equation for calculating the final velocity given initial velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled.
