Question

v=v0+at Solve for a

Answer 1

\[v = v_0 + at \]

\[v - v_0 = at\]

\[\frac{ v-v_0 }{ t } = a\]

So

\[a = \frac{ v-v_0 }{ t } = \frac{ Change~~In~~ Velocity }{ Change~~In~~Time } = \frac{ \Delta V }{ \Delta t }\]

Understood? :)

Answer 2

no not really

Answer 3

What did you NOT understand?

See in the equation there are actually 4 unknowns [a,v_0,v,t]

And we want the value of a.
Thus we would get this in terms of the other three unknowns itself.

So when we rearrange the equation we get => a = (v-v_0)/t

Okay?
