Equations of Motion

There are four basic equations that describe the motion of a body moving with constant acceleration.

where

u = then velocity at time, t = 0

v = velocity at time t

a = constant acceleration

s = the distance travelled during time t

Enter values into 3 of the 5 fields. The others will be calculated.
