    How Do You Calculate Vertical Motion and Acceleration?

    thanx. amm can i ask another thing? how about height??... when can we say that the displacement of a motion is negative if the forces discussed are those relevant to vertical direction... is it when it goes up or is it when it goes down that we can say it has negative height? thanx...

    Velocity and acceleration of an airplane

    oh... so half of 150 gives if velocity = (Final velocity + Initial velocity) / 2, then, it will give me a 75 average velocity right?

    Velocity and acceleration of an airplane

    BUT I've got no idea how..., i don't know because the given variables are only two which are: the distance, velocity but in physics formula for the computation of this problem requires three or more than variables given.. could you teach me?
