The discussion centers on determining the position vector (r) when a given velocity vector (u) comes to rest under constant acceleration (a). The initial velocity is defined as u = -14i - 7j, and the acceleration is a = 6i + 3j. To find the position vector when the velocity is zero, one must utilize the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration, specifically through kinematic equations. The participant struggled with differentiation and understanding the necessary calculus concepts to solve the problem.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics and vector analysis, as well as anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of kinematic relationships in motion.

The Attempt at a Solution
hey guys I am new at this so i didnt know how to post it but some help would be great :)
i tried solving it for when v=0 but i didnt know how, neither could i differentiate it :/
