hallm:

ok

Shadow:

so?

Shadow:

@hallm

hallm:

i would divide??

hallm:

sorry i was thinking what to do

Shadow:

Do you have the velocities identified? Final and initial?

hallm:

no i dont

Shadow:

If a car starts from rest, how fast is it going?

Shadow:

@hallm

hallm:

hold on ummmm

hallm:

0.16??

Shadow:

If something starts from rest, it starts at 0m/s

Shadow:

If it reaches 15m/s then that is the final velocity

Shadow:

0/ms is the initial velocity

Shadow:

2.5s is the time

hallm:

ohhhhh

hallm:
