Equations of Motion

Summary

The One Dimensional Equations of Motion for Constant Acceleration
traditional name equation relationship
1st equation   v = v0 + at   velocity – time
2nd equation   x = x0 + v0t + ½at2   displacement – time
3rd equation   v2 = v02 + 2a(x − x0)   velocity – displacement
merton rule           v = ½(v + v0)   average velocity
