The equation for acceleration is:
a = (d - vi*t) / t²
The distance an object traveled when starting at an initial velocity is
d = vit +at². represents the initial velocity
The distance an object has traveled when starting at an initial velocity is given by the equation:
d = vit + at²
To solve for acceleration, we need to isolate the term with "a" on one side of the equation. Let's begin by subtracting the first term on the right-hand side of the equation from both sides:
d - vit = at²
Next, we can divide both sides by t² to isolate "a":
a = (d - vit) / t²
Therefore, the equation for acceleration is:
a = (d - vi*t) / t²
