Okay people I think I got it: T=√2*d/A I've worked through the problem a couple time so I think I have got this. When Vf or Vi = 0 you use the Scalar form of the equation. Am I right here? PS. Seriously thank you, you will probably see me back here. I'm taking Physics 30 & Math...

Vf = 0 m/s becuase the plane is stopped. Should I be finding out what Vi is before find out the time? Ahhh you seem like you know what I need to do... A little hint here :redface:

Would you be able to tell me how you would go about figure out this question: If the arresting device on an aircraft carrier stops a plane in 150 m with an acceleration of 15 m/s2, find the time the plane takes to stop Maybe I need to start somewhere? I do not understand the quadric...

okay - so that is the wrong step? Where do I go from here. I'm sorry I just need a bit more information. I'm missing the basics and a quick reminder will make it click! If you could even give me a step by step on it, or even a website with some basics too.

No I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. I just checked the textbook and that is the right equation. Here is the question I'm stuck on: If the arresting device on an aircraft carrier stops a plane in 150 m with an acceleration of 15 m/s2, find the time the plane takes to stop. Here...

Homework Statement A= Acceleration Vf = Final Velocity Vi = Initial Velocity D= Displacement T = Time Homework Equations D=Vf*T - 1/2*a*(t)2 Solve for T The Attempt at a Solution I need to solve for T: This is what I got as my attempt but it is so very wrong still...
