Question

By 2 2 1 S ut  at , where S is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. Which equation represents a in terms of the other variables?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation  of motion;

S = ut + 1/2 at² where;

u is the initial velocity,

a is the acceleration, and;

t is the time.

We are to express a in terms of u, t and S

Making a the subject of the formula;

S = ut + 1/2 at²

S-ut = 1/2at²

2(S-ut) = at²

a = 2(S-ut)/t²

Hence the acceleration a in terms of other variables is expressed as a = 2(S-ut)/t²
