00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.728
Here is the problem: Starting at 10 m/s, an object covers 150 m in 6 s with constant acceleration. Find its final speed and acceleration.

2
00:00:11.178 --> 00:00:17.598
Find final velocity v and acceleration a for motion in a straight line with constant acceleration.

3
00:00:18.398 --> 00:00:23.634
List the known quantities. Unknown: final velocity v and acceleration a.

4
00:00:24.084 --> 00:00:26.685
Acceleration from the displacement equation.

5
00:00:27.135 --> 00:00:28.342
Final velocity.

6
00:00:29.142 --> 00:00:35.121
So the answer is v equals 40 m/s, a equals 5 m/s squared.

7
00:00:35.571 --> 00:00:49.039
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
00:00:49.839 --> 00:00:56.793
Check v squared equals u squared plus 2as: 1600 equals 1600.
