it would be the lowest add the highest divided by the time?

right

it starts at 0m/s and goes to 15m/s in 20 with a steady acceleration. how do i work it out?

(Lord of the Beans, Sat 1 Nov 2003, 13:50, archived)

change in speed

divided by time.

15/20 = acceleration

err, long time ago but

v=u+at
so a=(v-u)/t
final velocity- start velocity over time

er...

If it's a straight line, all you need is the slope of that line. Rise over run. (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m=acceleration

wouldn't you have to

work out the acceleration for each time segment and find the average of all those results?

ooohhhh

i cant be arsed. ill get my brother to do it for me. i think he has a physics fetish or something
