Constant Acceleration (SUVAT)

Deriving and applying the equations of motion for particles moving in a straight line.

Key Questions

  1. 1How can displacement-time graphs be used to derive velocity-time relationships?
  2. 2Why are the SUVAT equations only valid when acceleration is uniform?
  3. 3How does the choice of origin and direction affect the signs in kinematic equations?
