Here is the problem: An object starts at 0 m/s and accelerates at 9.8 m/s squared for 1.5 s. How far does it go and how fast is it moving?

2
00:00:12.966 --> 00:00:19.491
Find displacement s and final velocity v for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:20.291 --> 00:00:25.748
List the known quantities. Unknown: displacement s and final velocity v.

4
00:00:26.198 --> 00:00:27.371
Final velocity.

5
00:00:27.821 --> 00:00:28.773
Displacement.

6
00:00:29.573 --> 00:00:37.398
So the answer is s equals 11.025 m, v equals 14.7 m/s.

7
00:00:37.848 --> 00:00:51.304
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.

00:00:52.104 --> 00:01:00.661
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 216.09 equals 216.09.
