How do I solve for acceleration using the equation v^2 = v0^2 + 2axΔx?

[valerieangel]

I am trying to solve a problem, which requires me to first find the acceleration using the equation v^2 = v0^2 + 2axΔx. Do I divide both sides by 2ax first?


Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Since you are solving for 'a_x', you must try to isolate 'a_x'. Start by isolating the 2a_xΔx term.

I have figured it out. Thank you.
