A skateboarder moves along a straight section of a skate park with uniform acceleration.
The measurements for part of the motion are shown in the table.
| quantity | measurement |
|---|---|
| initial velocity, uuu | 1.0 m/s |
| final velocity, vvv | 5.0 m/s |
| displacement, xxx | 6.0 m |
Calculate the uniform acceleration for this part of the motion.
Use
a=v2−u22xa=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2x}a=2xv2−u2
