## anonymous one year ago HALP!! v= the square root of 2as Solve for s (I said the square root of because idk how to put that symbol)

1. anonymous

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

2. anonymous

$a=\frac{ 2 }{ s }$

Please don't give out direct answers :) @SurpriseBreeze Instead, try engaging the asker so they can learn better and understand where your answer is coming from. Not only is it against the CoC, but also prohibiting learning. As the saying goes… $$\\\color{darkblue}{Give~a~man~a~fish,~he~eats~for~a~day.}$$ $$\\\color{pink}{Teach~a~man~to~fish,~he~eats~for~a~lifetime.}$$

Type it into a calculator.. :)

Thank you however I have to show my work so if you could show me the steps that be amazing

6. anonymous

I just used mathway :c They charge you to see the steps..

7. anonymous

yeah I use mathway too

8. anonymous

oh well thanks for trying!

Then mathway sucks. Where is variable v anyway?

11. anonymous

v is on the other side I have to somehow end up with s in its place

12. anonymous

SO it has to be s=blah blah

13. geerky42

I know, I am talking about SurpriseBreeze's answer. Ok your goal is to isolate s. $$v = \sqrt{2as}$$ We need to get rid of square root. Any idea what we need to do to both sides?

14. anonymous

Square it

15. geerky42

Right. $$v^2 = (\sqrt{2as})^2$$ $$v^2 = 2as$$ Now what? How to move $$2a$$ to other side?

16. anonymous

divide

17. geerky42

Yeah. $$\large \boxed{s = \dfrac{v^2}{2a}}$$ That it.

18. anonymous

Ok thank you so much!!!

Tiger-Algebra shows the work… wolfram alpha is better though but you do have to pay when getting steps.
