Question

Can someone help with this problem on literal equations to get variable A by itself? Will give lots of points

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

xf = xo + vo* t + 1/2 a*t^2                    Subtract xo

xf - xo = 0*t + 1/2 a*t^2                        multiply by 2

2(xf - xo) = at^2                                    divide by t^2

2(xf - xo ) / t^2 = a

Part B

Givens

xo =0

vo = 0

a = 10  m/s^2

xf = 120 m

Solution

xf = xo + vo* t + 1/2 a*t^2              Substitute the givens

120 = 0 + 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t^2            Multiply by 2

120*2 = 10* t^2                  

240 = 10*t^2                                  Divide by 10

240/10  = t^2

24 = t^2                                          take the square root of both sides.

√24 = √t^2

t = √24

t = √(2 * 2 * 2 * 3)

t = 2√6
