Displacement from a singular force over time is given by the equation ${1\over2}{F\over m}t^2 $ Where F is force, m is mass, and t is time.
But what if F is variable over time?
My best guess is to find the "area" under the curve of F
, as on a graph, using integration by the trapezoidal method, with respect to t
This gives SI units of joules, so then we must divide by F
to get total displacement over time.
Is this the correct solution?
