+--- Thread: Initial and final velocity (/thread-13571.html)
Initial and final velocity - Ostronomos - Feb 1, 2023
Initial velocity is the velocity of a moving body at a starting point, Vi.
If we are given the acceleration of a moving body and the time of its final velocity, we can calculate initial velocity: Vi = Vf - at.
If we apply this concept to a broader perspective, can we use it to calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding, assuming its boundary is moving at a certain velocity? If not, what do the actual equations look like?
