Theory & Formula

Kinematic Equations

Kinematics describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion. The kinematic equations relate displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time for objects moving with constant acceleration.

The Three Kinematic Equations

\(v = v_0 + at\)\(s = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2\)\(v^2 = v_0^2 + 2as\)\(s = \frac{1}{2}(v_0 + v)t\)\(s = vt - \frac{1}{2}at^2\)

Variables

Example

A car accelerates from rest (v₀ = 0) at 2 m/s² for 5 seconds. Using v = v₀ + at:

\(v = v_0 + at = 0 + (9.8)(3) = 29.4 \, \text{m/s}\)
