What's the d?

Distance.

Here, let me show you, if you insert all givens, you get:

0.75 m = (0)(2.5) + 1/2 a (2.5)²

which simplifies to

0.75 = 3.125 a

divide left side by 3.125, you get 0.24 m/s²

What's the d?

Distance.

[Zeblote]

Distance.

OH
Well we learned to use the letter 's' for distance.

Your teacher is dumb.

... what

I mean we use "x" because we like to think on a coordinate plane but really what

[Zeblote]

I live in germany

So why isn't it "a"?

[Zeblote]

So why isn't it "a"?

It's 's' for "strecke", the german word for "distance"

[Port]

It's 's' for "strecke", the german word for "distance"

pretty sure strecke more refers to the actual area, not the distance
wouldn't it be abstand

i'm not german though so i'm not sure

Those words mean about the same excep the second one is more about the distance between two objects
Also 'a' is already used for acceleration so thats impossible to use
