Equations of uniformly accelerated motion

The equations of uniformly accelerated motion are:

Equation 1: v = u + at

Equation 2: s = ut + ½at²

Equation 3: v² = u² + 2as

Equation 4: s = (v + u)t

For many examinations, you will not need to know how to derive these equations - just how to use them. But in order to feel that you understand them, it is important to see where these equations come from. This is explained on the next two pages.
