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. For this assessment item, you can use ^ to show exponents and type your answer in the answer box, or you may choose to write your answer on paper and upload it

Hello,


s=at^2+v_0*t+s_0\\ ==\textgreater\ s-s_0-v_0*t=at^2\\\\ ==\textgreater\ \boxed{a= (s-s_0-v_0*t)/(t^2)} \\
