Calculating Uniform Acceleration Flashcards

All 2 cards in this deck

State the equation linking acceleration, change in velocity and time taken.

acceleration (m/s²) = change in velocity (m/s) ÷ time taken (s), i.e. $a = (v - u) \div t$

State the equation linking final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration and distance.

$v^2 - u^2 = 2 \times a \times x$, where $v$ and $u$ are in m/s, $a$ in m/s² and $x$ in m
