00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.777
Here is the problem: An object speeds up from 2 m/s to 10 m/s over 36 m. Find its acceleration and the time taken.

2
00:00:09.227 --> 00:00:15.078
Find acceleration a and time t for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:15.878 --> 00:00:20.116
List the known quantities. Unknown: acceleration a and time t.

4
00:00:20.566 --> 00:00:22.540
Time from the average velocity.

5
00:00:22.990 --> 00:00:24.012
Acceleration.

6
00:00:24.812 --> 00:00:32.800
So the answer is a equals 1.3333333 m/s squared, t equals 6 s.

7
00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:46.729
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
00:00:47.529 --> 00:00:52.614
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 100 equals 100.
