  • Page 791 For example, the following three equations define initial velocity and acceleration based on two observed distances and times. The first two equations alone are mathematically sufficient for solving the problem, but each equation contains two unknown variables. Adding the third equation allows a successful solution because it contains only one of the unknown variables.
