SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the final velocity of a car under constant acceleration when the displacement increases from x to 9x. Using the equation v² = vo² + 2a(x - xo), where the initial velocity (vo) is zero, the final velocity (v) can be derived for the initial displacement. By substituting the new displacement of 9x into the equation, participants clarify how to determine the new final velocity in terms of the original final velocity.
