Constant Acceleration Formulae

The constant acceleration formulae are known as the suvat formulae.s= displacementu= initial velocityv = final velocitya = accelerationt = timeEach formula is missing a quantity.v = u + atv² = u² + 2asThe formulas can be derived from the following graph: Displacement from average speed:s = ½ (u + v)tThe area under the graph iss = ut + ½(v - u)tbut (v - u) = atso this becomes:s = ut + ½ at²also finally:s = vt - ½ at²
