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. plz someone >~<.

Answer 1

We are given with the expression d = ut + 0.5 at^2 and is asked to express the equation in terms of a. First, we transpose ut to the left side, then we multiply to the equation and divide lastly the resulting equation by t^2. The final expression becomes a = 2(d-ut)/t^2.
