 Equations of Motion
● Acceleration of object is constant i.e a = constant
● Equations are to be applied vectorially
a. use directions
b. we can only get displacement

v = u + at u⇒ initial velocity
1 at2 v⇒ final velocity
S = ut +
2 a⇒ uniform acceleration
t ⇒ time
v2 = u2 + 2aS
S ⇒ displacement
 Example

u = 0 m/s
a = 5 m/s2

When will the van accelerating at 5 m/s2 reach a speed of 25 m/s if it starts at rest?
A. 2s
B. 5s
C. 10 s
D. 15 s
 Example

100 m/s

The van is speeding at 100 m/s and starts to apply breaks with

a retardation of 5 m/s2 When will the van come to rest?

A. 10 s
B. 15 s
C. 20 s
D. 25 s
 Example

100 m/s

distance along the road from the t = 0s where the ball falls on the road. The
height of the window is 1.25 m from the ground.

A. 200 m
B. 210 m
C. 221 m
D. 265 m
