    How Do You Derive the Kinematic Equation \(v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad\)?

    Thank you. I've got it now. I had returned to using the other equations, but the word "derive" kept making my brain do derivatives. I guess that's what I get for being a math minor and taking as few physics classes as possible. Thank you, again.

    How Do You Derive the Kinematic Equation \(v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad\)?

    Yes. I can use any type of equation. And any principles. I'm just at a loss as to how to get started. I should be fine with a little nudge in the right direction.

    How Do You Derive the Kinematic Equation \(v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad\)?

    Homework Statement Derive (v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 +2ad Homework Equations (v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2ad (v_f) = (v_i) + at d = (v_i)t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 The Attempt at a Solution I have attempted to replace the variables with others from other kinematic equations such as v_f = v_i + at...
