Homework Statement



The distance covered by an object is given by the equation.
s^2=at^2+2bt+c
Then acc varies as?

I am a beginner please some one explain in the simplest language possible.

What is the relationship between speed and acceleration?
Hint - look at your equations.

a=v/t
v=s/t

therefore: a=(s/t)/t = s/t^2

specifically - acceleration is the second time-derivative of displacement.
what sort of answer is expected depends on where you are at in your studies.
