Equations of Linear Motion

v = u + at = 0 + (2)(5) = 10.0

Initial velocity (u)0 m/s

Acceleration (a)2 m/s²

Time (t)5 s

Final velocity (v)10.00 m/s

Displacement (s)25.00 m

Initial velocity (u)0

Acceleration (a)2

Time (t)5

Set u = 0, a = 2, t = 5 — confirm the final velocity reads 10 m/s
On the same motion (u=0, a=2, t=5), confirm the displacement reads 25 m
Set u = 5, a = -1, t = 4 — confirm the final velocity reads 1 m/s (still moving, slowing down)
Set u = 20, a = -4, and find the time t at which the object comes to rest (v = 0)
Set u = 5, a = -2, t = 8 — see the object reverse direction (negative final velocity)
