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.

Answer 1

First sustact ut from both sides which leaves you with: d-ut = 0.5at^2

Answer 2

Then multiply both sides by 2 and divide both sides t^2. 2(d-ut)/t^2=1
