Table 1

Variable Quantity Value SI Unit
\( \Delta v = v_2 - v_1 \) change in velocity \( 30 - 0 \) \( m/s \)
\( \Delta t \) time to change velocity \( 7.0 \) \( s \)
\( \bar{a} = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \) average acceleration ? \( m/s^2\)

Table 2

Variable Quantity Value SI Unit
\( a \) constant acceleration \( 12.0 \) \( m/s^2 \)
\( v_0 \) initial velocity 0 \( m/s\)
\( t \) elapsed time 12.0 \( s \)
\( \vert \Delta x \vert \) distance traveled \( ? \) \( m \)
