00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.462
Here is the problem: An object speeds up from 5 m/s to 25 m/s over 200 m. Find its acceleration and the time taken.

2
00:00:09.912 --> 00:00:15.485
Find acceleration a and time t for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:16.285 --> 00:00:20.372
List the known quantities. Unknown: acceleration a and time t.

4
00:00:20.822 --> 00:00:22.807
Time from the average velocity.

5
00:00:23.257 --> 00:00:24.279
Acceleration.

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:33.868
So the answer is a equals 1.5 m/s squared, t equals 13.333333 s.

7
00:00:34.318 --> 00:00:47.646
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
00:00:48.446 --> 00:00:55.249
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 625 equals 625.
