Disturbing is not the right word. It answered this in seconds in a 200-300 word derivation of a formula, correctly I might add

Two students, S1 and S2, are rushing to class. They are waiting for green light at the same intersection. As soon as the light turns green, both students start walking with constant acceleration. The acceleration of student S1 is a1, and the acceleration of student S2 is a2, When student S1 has reached a velocity v1, she has walked a distance D1, while student S2 has walked a distance D2 = 1/3D1.

In terms of v1 and D1, what is the correct expression for a2, the acceleration of student S2?


Then I asked which models of Parker shotguns were most desirable. I've been buying wrong all this time : )
