Arrange the equations in the correct sequence to rewrite the formula for displacement, , to find a. In this formula, d is displacement, v0 is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time.

Answer:


a=2[d-V_0t]/t^2=2d/t^2-2v_0/t


Step-by-step explanation:


Since, you have not included the formula, I will work here with the formula for constant accelaration motion that relates the four variables: displacement (d), Vo (initial velocity), a (acceleration) and t (time).

1) displacement formula:


d= V_0t+(1)/(2) at^2

2) Subtract the term Vot from both sides:


d-V_0t= (1)/(2) at^2

3) Multiply both sides by 2:


2d -2V_0t=at^2

4) Divide both sides by t²


2[d-V_0t]/t^2=a

So, you have obtainded:

a = 2[d - Vo×t] / t²

Yet, you can arrange it in different ways. For example, you might separate into two terms:


a = (2d)/(t^2) - (2V_0)/(t)
