both i want to actually learn it but i would like to know the answer becaus ei have a deadline for my class thank u so much

anonymous · Answer

OK if you want to learn, let's start.  Do you know the equation for linear motion,

s = s0 + v0*t + (1/2)*a*t^2?

anonymous · Answer

Is this  a physics class or a calculus class, maybe I should start there.

anonymous · Answer

honestly a little no im sort of basic im really bad in math its alegbra

anonymous · Answer

OK, did they give you the linear motion equations to work with?

anonymous · Answer

nope

anonymous · Answer

What did they give you?

anonymous · Answer

its an online class all they do is explain it then give u problems not really helpful you kind of have to teach yourself
