Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
i don't know what formula to use. I am trying to set up systems where final position is 5100m, and initial position is 0m. please help
i am trying to go about this saying that initial velocity was zero and using the equation
final velocity = initial velocity + (a)(t) where a is acceleration and t is time.
