00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.450
Here is the problem: A car moving at 12 m/s brakes at 3 m/s squared until it stops. Find the stopping distance and time.

2
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:15.635
Find displacement s and time t for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:16.435 --> 00:00:20.847
List the known quantities. Unknown: displacement s and time t.

4
00:00:21.297 --> 00:00:21.831
Time.

5
00:00:22.281 --> 00:00:23.256
Displacement.

6
00:00:24.056 --> 00:00:29.037
So the answer is s equals 24 m, t equals 4 s.

7
00:00:29.487 --> 00:00:42.374
With constant acceleration, any three of displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time fix the other two. Each pair of unknowns is solved with the equation that does not contain the other unknown.

8
00:00:43.174 --> 00:00:47.656
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 0 equals 0.
