Please review the first 4 and a half minutes of the video to see the explanation of the math. Keep in mind that 88 meters had to be converted into kilometers. Also the first result for time was in hours, and we had to convert it to seconds, which gave us the value of 5.28.
How did 88m over 1/2(75+45)kph go to t +5.28
Yes, that’s the same thing, just stated slightly differently 🙂
When trying to find acceleration, the formula said vf – vi, but when you plugged in the numbers you subtracted the vi number from the vf number. Was that correct?
