00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.716
Here is the problem: An object starts at 0 m/s and accelerates at 4 m/s squared for 6 s. How far does it go and how fast is it moving?

2
00:00:11.166 --> 00:00:17.795
Find displacement s and final velocity v for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:18.595 --> 00:00:24.052
List the known quantities. Unknown: displacement s and final velocity v.

4
00:00:24.502 --> 00:00:25.675
Final velocity.

5
00:00:26.125 --> 00:00:27.054
Displacement.

6
00:00:27.854 --> 00:00:34.367
So the answer is s equals 72 m, v equals 24 m/s.

7
00:00:34.817 --> 00:00:48.308
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
00:00:49.108 --> 00:00:56.562
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 576 equals 576.
