Question

The distance traveled by an object can be modeled by the equation d = ut + 0.5at2 where d = distance, u = initial velocity, t = time, and a = acceleration. Solve this formula for a. Show all steps in your work.

Answer 1

\[d = ut + 0.5at^2 \rightarrow d - ut = 0.5at^2\]
\[\frac{d - ut}{0.5t^2} = a \rightarrow a =\frac{d - ut}{0.5t^2}\]
\[a =\frac{2(d - ut)}{t^2}\]
