Question

V=u+at
u=2 a= -5 t=1/2
work out the value of v.

Answer 1

(-1)/2

Explanation:

Evaluate u + a t where u = 2, a = -5 and t = 1/2:

u + a t = 2 - 5/2

Put 2 - 5/2 over the common denominator 2. 2 - 5/2 = (2×2)/2 - 5/2:

(2×2)/2 - 5/2

2×2 = 4:

4/2 - 5/2

4/2 - 5/2 = (4 - 5)/2:

(4 - 5)/2

4 - 5 = -1:

Answer: (-1)/2
