s (total distance travelled)
● v (average speed )= , measured in m/s / km/h // mph
t(time taken)
(imperial)
increase∈ displacement v ( final velocity)+ u(initial velocity)
● average velocity= /
timetaken 2
v (final velocity )−u(initial velocity )
● a (acceleration)= , measured in m/s2
t (time taken )
●
v 2( final speed squared )=u2 (initial speed squared )+ 2∗a (acceleration)∗s( distance moved)
