Need help In physics, if a moving object has a starting position at s 0, an initial velocity of v 0, and a constant acceleration a, then the position S at any time t > 0 is given by:

S = at 2 + v 0 t + s 0.
Solve for the acceleration, a, in terms of the other variables

s = at^2 + v0t + s0

at^2 = s - s0 - v0t

a = (s - s0 - v0t) / t^2
