it is denoted by

v 2 - u 2 = 2as

 

Where

v = Final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity

s = Distance Travelled

a = acceleration

To solve problems using equations of motion, we should remember that

  • If body starts from rest, its Initial velocity = u = 0
  • If we drop a body from some height, its Initial velocity = u = 0
  • If body stops, its Final velocity = v = 0
  • If body moves with uniform velocity, its Acceleration = a = 0

Questions

Q 2 Page 110 - A train is traveling at a speed of 90 km h–1. Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of – 0.5 m s-2. Find how far the train will go before it is brought to rest.
