    Problems with acceleration results established from equations of linear motion

    @lewando yes my scenario is very similar. I arrived at my results by using s=ut+1/2at^2 Rearranged to a=2(s-ut)/t^2 And the results are in my original post

    Problems with acceleration results established from equations of linear motion

    I agree with this but my results aren't showing that.

    Problems with acceleration results established from equations of linear motion

    @janny, Thankyou for your help. So far this is exactly my thoughts, in case 1 the brakes are applied hard, case 2 harder and case 3 the hardest. This is why I expected that case 3 would the highest magnitude of deceleration, however I consistently get case 3 being the lowest. Regarding your...

    Problems with acceleration results established from equations of linear motion

    I have 3 separate cases of an object decelerating at different rates. The aim is to find the acceleration for each case. Case 1 Initial velocity: 1.663m/s Displacement: 0.12m Time: 0.139s Case 2 Initial velocity: 1.663m/s Displacement: 0.12m Time: 0.155s Case 3 Initial Velocity: 1.663m/s...
