Math Problem Statement

qU=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot v^2, can you solve v?

Solution

To solve for vv in the equation:

qU=12mv2qU = \frac{1}{2}m \cdot v^2

we can isolate vv by following these steps:

  1. Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the 12\frac{1}{2} factor: 2qU=mv22 \cdot qU = m \cdot v^2

  2. Divide both sides by mm to isolate v2v^2: v2=2qUmv^2 = \frac{2 \cdot qU}{m}

  3. Take the square root of both sides to solve for vv: v=2qUmv = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot qU}{m}}

So, the solution for vv is:

v=2qUmv = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot qU}{m}}
