Uniform acceleration equation

• For an object that has constant acceleration, the following equation holds:

\[\text{(final velocity)}^2-\text{(initial velocity)}^2\times\text{acceleration}\times\text{distance travelled}\]

• This can be written as \(v^2-u^2=2as\) where:
  • \(v\) is the final velocity in m/s
  • \(u\) is the initial velocity in m/s
  • \(a\) the constant acceleration in m/s²
  • \(s\) is the distance travelled in m.
