That's a pretty good explanation. Thanks for the help and having patience.

When I do that I get 0=64-2ad and 0=-2ad+44a-256, when I set them equal to each other I can reduce to 44a=320 further reduced to a=7.27 m/s2. Does this seem correct? Also, thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm sorry, I really don't follow. Should I be using the same equation from part A split into two parts? If so, how do I combine them to reach a final answer of a=?

Thanks :D. That was a silly mistake to make. Now that that's sorted, any ideas for part B?

So this question has two parts. The first I got without any trouble: "Two objects move with initial velocity of -8.00 m/s, final velocity of 16.0 m/s, and constant accelerations. (a) The first object has displacement 20.0 m. Find its acceleration." I used The formula Vf2=Vi2+2aΔx and got an...
