Thank You, Warren That actually clarified this for me, enough that after a week of writing and rewriting this out I am confident to try a similar question

I believe v^2 is already accounted for as 146.3 so if i went 146.3/ 26.6 i get 5.5 The whole question and answer is already written out in the book. What i am not understanding is how the book got the answer it did.. If i enter it in a calculator i enter 1 Divided by 2 multiplied by 26.6...

Yes thank you.. that's how it looks.. but between 402m and 409m i can't get anywhere near those numbers I am just trying to understand how it equals that

Thank You, Warren Actually, s is what I am trying to solve i guess it would be. the formula according to the book s=1/2a Vf^2 = Vf^2 = 1/2(26.6)(146.3)^2 So, s= ? a= 26.6 Vf^2 = 146.3
