Homework Statement


Question 1:
Vf = Vo + at
Find Vo

Question 2:

P1V1 = P2V2
Find V1

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Vo = at - vf

I'm new to taking Physical Science. Could someone help me on understanding how to solve the above problems. I got stuck on the second one. Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i can't understand what you are asking
 
The question is Vf = Vo + at
I got to find Vo
 
Ummm ... just rearrange them?
 
Vo = at - vf

is what I got by isolating variables.
 
Rearrange correctly

it must be: Vo = Vf - at
