Here is the problem: An object starts at 0 m/s and accelerates at 9.8 m/s squared for 3 s. How far does it go and how fast is it moving?

2
00:00:12.246 --> 00:00:18.933
Find displacement s and final velocity v for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:19.733 --> 00:00:24.946
List the known quantities. Unknown: displacement s and final velocity v.

4
00:00:25.396 --> 00:00:26.615
Final velocity.

5
00:00:27.065 --> 00:00:28.017
Displacement.

6
00:00:28.817 --> 00:00:36.027
So the answer is s equals 44.1 m, v equals 29.4 m/s.

7
00:00:36.477 --> 00:00:49.805
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
00:00:50.605 --> 00:00:59.254
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 864.36 equals 864.36.
