I don’t understand can someone break it down for me

a = (v² – v₀²)/ 2(s – s₀)

Explanation:

v² = v₀² + 2a (s – s₀)

We can make 'a' the subject of the above expression as follow:

v² = v₀² + 2a (s – s₀)

Subtract v₀² from both side

v² – v₀² = v₀² + 2a (s – s₀) – v₀²

v² – v₀² = v₀² – v₀² + 2a (s – s₀)

v² – v₀² = 2a (s – s₀)

Divide both side by (s – s₀)

(v² – v₀²)/ (s – s₀) = 2a

Divide both side by 2

(v² – v₀²)/ (s – s₀) ÷ 2 = a

(v² – v₀²)/ (s – s₀) × 1/2 = a

(v² – v₀²)/ 2(s – s₀) = a

a = (v² – v₀²)/ 2(s – s₀)

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
