HELP NEEDED PLEASE PLEASE I DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!! The following formula relates three quantities: velocity (v), acceleration (a), and time (t). v = at Solve this equation for t. If the velocity is v = –48 units and the acceleration is a = –32 units, find the time, t. If the velocity is v = 64 units and the time is t = 8 units, find the acceleration, a.

OpenStudy (phi):

v = at can you solve this for "t" ? (I would divide both sides by a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So divide a and v to get t?

OpenStudy (phi):

you write /a on each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I don't get it.

OpenStudy (phi):

/a means divide by a divide both sides by a if the problem was 4 = 2 x and we divide both sides by 2: 4/2 = 2x/2 then simplify. in your case we divide by a letter "a".... v = a t now divide both sides by a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can one of you help???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know

OpenStudy (phi):

they want you go solve for t v= a t to solve for t, divide both sides by "a" to divide by a, write /a on both sides. can you do that ?
