Question
A projectile exits a launch tube with a velocity of 255 m/s. While accelerating through the
launch tube, the projectile moves a distance of 1.850 m. Determine the acceleration of the
projectile (assume a uniform acceleration).
Which equation should you use to solve for acceleration?
a. Ax = 1/2(v, + v)At
b. Ax = v,At +(1/2)aAt?
c. v? = v,? + 2aAx
d. Vf = v, + aat
