Star ship acceleration physics
So for Klingon I used sf = si + v(tf - ti) and got the sf equals 211.2 Then using that and the equation sf = si + vi(tf-ti) + .5a(tf-ti)^2 and solved for a getting -.221. When I put that in as an answer i am told it is wrong. What am i still doing wrong here?- ms245004

Star ship acceleration physics
Homework Statement The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 56km/s. To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 120m directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 24km/s. Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and...- ms245004

Finding a Particle's Position with Given Velocity and Time
Solving for position... please help Homework Statement A particle's position on the x-axis is given by the function f(x) = (t^2 - 2t +4) where t is given in s. Where is particle at v= 4m/s? Homework Equations f(x) = (t^2 - 2t +4) sf = si + vi(tf -ti) + .5a(tf-ti)^2 The Attempt at a...- ms245004
