Changing the subject of and equation? (2 Viewers)

[Paj20]

Is there any trick to doing these??

v^2 = u^2 +2as

Make a the subject


If anyone knows any tricks would be much appreciated

ok so you have v^2 = u^2 +2as
first you want to get the bit with a in it on a side by itself so it will go to

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

then to get the a by itself divivde by 2s

( v^2 - u^2 ) / 2s = a

 

[Mark576]

v² = u² + 2as
2as = v² - u² {by subtracting u² from both sides of the equation}
a = (v² - u²)/2s {dividing both sides by 2s}
It doesn't really get any simpler than that mate.
