To solve for "a" in the formula, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's start by rewriting the formula:
d = vit + (1/2)at^2
To isolate "a", we will move all other terms to the other side of the equation:
d - vit = (1/2)at^2
Next, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction:
2(d - vit) = 2[(1/2)at^2]
2d - 2vit = at^2
Finally, to solve for "a", divide both sides of the equation by t^2:
(2d - 2vit) / t^2 = a
Therefore, "a" is equal to (2d - 2vit) divided by t^2.
d = vit + (1/2)at^2
To isolate "a", we will move all other terms to the other side of the equation:
d - vit = (1/2)at^2
Next, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction:
2(d - vit) = 2[(1/2)at^2]
2d - 2vit = at^2
Finally, to solve for "a", divide both sides of the equation by t^2:
(2d - 2vit) / t^2 = a
Therefore, "a" is equal to (2d - 2vit) divided by t^2.
