Finding Acceleration Given Distance and Final Speed

[aprymek]

1. A pitcher uses 3.5m to accelerate a baseball before release. Find the average acceleration of a ball starting at zero m/s and traveling 41m/s at release

Thanks in advance. I'm lost with what I need to do.

Hi aprymek! Welcome to PF!

Assume a constant acceleration …

you know the initital and final speed, and the distance, so which formula should you use?
