Equations for uniform acceleration
When we’re working with calculations involving motion, we’re usually working with 3-4 of these 5 values:
- displacement or distance,
- initial velocity or speed,
- final velocity or speed,
- acceleration,
- time,
The equations
Section titled “The equations”If we know 3 of these values, we can work out the other 2 using these equations:
