Math Problem Statement
Solve the equation for the indicated variable. Assume no denominator is 0.
Ve = mv, for v
Solution
The given equation is:
We need to solve for .
Step-by-step solution:
-
Isolate :
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction: -
Solve for :
Divide both sides by : -
Take the square root:
Finally, take the square root of both sides to solve for :
Thus, the solution for is:
