(1) Equation of Motion:
V = u + at
Acceleration = change in velocity/Time taken
=> Acceleration = Final velocity-Initial velocity / time taken
=> a = (v-u) /t
=>at = v-u
=>v = u + at
This is the first equation of motion.
(2) Equation of motion:
S = u t + 1 2 a t 2
Distance = Average velocity X Time
Average velocity = (u+v)/2
Distance (t) = fraction numerator u plus v over denominator 2 end fraction cross times t…….eq.
