00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.044
Here is the problem: An object speeds up from 10 m/s to 30 m/s over 100 m. Find its acceleration and the time taken.

2
00:00:09.494 --> 00:00:15.020
Find acceleration a and time t for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:19.918
List the known quantities. Unknown: acceleration a and time t.

4
00:00:20.368 --> 00:00:22.330
Time from the average velocity.

5
00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:23.837
Acceleration.

6
00:00:24.637 --> 00:00:30.024
So the answer is a equals 4 m/s squared, t equals 5 s.

7
00:00:30.474 --> 00:00:43.953
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
00:00:44.753 --> 00:00:50.233
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 900 equals 900.
