Solving for Variables

Question:

by Gold
(PA)



h=at-.25vt^2 Solve for a.



Answer:

h = at - .25vt²


add .25vt² to each side of the equation

h + .25vt² = at - .25vt² + .25vt²

h + .25vt² = at + 0

h + .25vt² = at


divide each side of the equation by t

(h + .25vt²) / t = at / t

(h + .25vt²) / t = a * (t / t)

(h + .25vt²) / t = a * (1)

(h + .25vt²) / t = a


The final answer is:

a = (h + .25vt²) / t


There may be a mistake in the equation. I don’t remember seeing a physics problem involving height and acceleration which used an equation that looked quite like this.



Thanks for writing.
