How is the following translational motion equation derived?


v_x² = v_o² + 2a_xΔx

Never mind I figured it out.

For anyone who has read the question but has not figured out how:

Δx= V0.t+at^2/2 and V=V0+at

From the second equation, t=(V-V0)/a, plug that instead of t in the first one, simplify and you'll get the formula above.
