00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.588
Here is the problem: Starting at 0 m/s, an object covers 100 m in 5 s with constant acceleration. Find its final speed and acceleration.

2
00:00:11.038 --> 00:00:17.470
Find final velocity v and acceleration a for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:23.529
List the known quantities. Unknown: final velocity v and acceleration a.

4
00:00:23.979 --> 00:00:26.545
Acceleration from the displacement equation.

5
00:00:26.995 --> 00:00:28.133
Final velocity.

6
00:00:28.933 --> 00:00:34.970
So the answer is v equals 40 m/s, a equals 8 m/s squared.

7
00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:48.795
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
00:00:49.595 --> 00:00:56.642
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 1600 equals 1600.
