An object is moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration. Its position is measured at three different times, as shown in the table below.
Time (s) | Position, (m)
56.40 | 9.700
58.20 | 19.042
60.00 | 38.428
Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration at t=58.20 s
I am not quite sure how to start this. I thought you could find the velocities between the three different measurements and use this formula a =(vf-vi)/t.
