To calculate the acceleration, use the following equation:
Vfinal2Vinitial2=2as
a=Vfinal2Vinitial22s
Substituting our recognizable values:
a=(25m/s)2(15m/s)22(125m)
a=1.6m/s2
The following equation can be used to calculate the value of time:
Vfinal=Vinitial+at
VfinalVinitial=at
t=VfinalVinitiala
Replace with our established values:
t=25m/s15m/s1.6m/s2
t=6.25s
