    1) The document discusses four equations of motion that apply to objects moving with constant acceleration in a straight line or under projectile motion. 2) The four equations are: average velocity, acceleration, displacement, and a fourth equation that relates final velocity to initial velocity, acceleration, and displacement. 3) Examples are provided for applying each equation, and the document notes that checking for homogeneity can help recall the correct equations of motion.

    The Equations of Motion

    Equations of Motion
    The equations of motion all apply to a body moving 1. with constant acceleration 2. in a straight line.

    They can also be applied to projectile motion.

    1. The average velocity equation:


    We know that if an object accelerates uniformly from an initial velocity (u) to a final velocity (v) over a time (t) then Average velocity = u + v 2
    If it has travelled through a displacement (s) then also Average velocity = s t So

    s =u+v t 2

    Or

    s = (u + v) t

    2. The acceleration equation


    We know that acceleration is given by

    Acceleration = v - u t
    Rearranging gives

    v = u + at

    3. The displacement equation


    Substituting b into a gives

    s = (u + u + at) t
    So

    s = (2u + at) t
    So

    s = ut + at2

    The fourth equation


    Rearranging a gives So

    t =

    2s (u+v)

    (vu) (u+v) = 2as


    Expand the brackets

    Substituting into b gives

    v = u + a 2s (u+v)
    Rearranging

    uv + v2 u2 uv = 2as
    Simplifies to

    v-u = 2as (u+v)

    v2 = u2 + 2as

    Note:

    When recalling the equations of motion, check for homogeneity if youre not sure.
    e.g.

    s = ut + at2
