Here is the problem: An object starts at 12 m/s and accelerates at negative 3 m/s squared for 2 s. How far does it go and how fast is it moving?

2
00:00:12.153 --> 00:00:18.527
Find displacement s and final velocity v for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:19.327 --> 00:00:24.737
List the known quantities. Unknown: displacement s and final velocity v.

4
00:00:25.187 --> 00:00:26.313
Final velocity.

5
00:00:26.763 --> 00:00:27.738
Displacement.

6
00:00:28.538 --> 00:00:34.215
So the answer is s equals 18 m, v equals 6 m/s.

7
00:00:34.665 --> 00:00:48.086
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
00:00:48.886 --> 00:00:54.157
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 36 equals 36.
