Consider the equation that gives the distance a vehicle has traveled from the start of a timed course, where . d is the distance the vehicle has traveled in meters,
. a is the acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared,
• t is the time in seconds, and
• v is the starting velocity of the vehicle in meters per second.
d = žat? + vt
Enter an equation for which the solution is the acceleration of a vehicle, in meters per second squared, when its
starting velocity is 20 meters per second and it travels 300 meters in 10 seconds.

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
