Homework Statement
An object is moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration. Its position is measured at three different times, as shown in the table below.
Time (s) Position, (m)
37.10 7.600
38.60 14.425
40.10 27.100
Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration at t=38.60 s.
Homework Equations
a = (vf - vo) / t
d = vot + 1/2 at2
vf2 = vo2 + 2ad
(ether or really)
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried everything, I've tried getting the distances between the 2 each time and using 1.5 seconds and getting velocity, I've tried using those to get the velocity, nothing is working. and this is something I should be able to do. Any help would be good, even just a point in the right direction.
