hi can anyone derive the formula for displacement in nth second???

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

we will solve it together

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

tell me the displacement in nth second

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

and n-1th second

OpenStudy (aravindg):

sn=utn+1/2a(tn)^2

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

right :) then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the formulae

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

he wants to derive it problemsolver

OpenStudy (aravindg):

s(n-1)-1=u(n-1)+1/2a((n-1)^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (aravindg):

s(n-1)=u(n-1)+1/2a((n-1)^2)

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

oh ok in the first formula u wrote t make it n now you simplify 2nd and subtract both the displacements to get your answer\\

OpenStudy (aravindg):

should i open all brackets in 2nd equation???

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

yes yes bring it in the simplest form and then subtract

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wow got it sn=u+1/2a(2n-1)

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

yes correct :)

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

you get it?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ya one more doubt

OpenStudy (aravindg):

is the formula for both average velocity and average speed same???

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

no they are different.. a modulus is what is different
