In a laboratory experiment to measure the acceleration of an object, the distances traveled by the object were recorded for three different time intervals. These data led to the following equations:

So +2vo + 2a = So 4v0+ 8a So + 6vo +


Here, s0 is the initial displacement (in ft), v0 is the initial velocity (in ft/s), and a is the acceleration (in ft /s2). Find s0, v0, and a.

So +2vo + 2a = So 4v0+ 8a So + 6vo + 18a = 20 54 104
