i want to know three equations of motion

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

1) vf=vi+at 2) S=vit+1/2 *at^2 3) 2aS=vf^2-vi^2

OpenStudy (shamim):

i have doubt abt ur reply @imtiaz

OpenStudy (shamim):

explain plz @imtiaz

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@shamim I think imtiaz is correct. These refer to motion under CONSTANT acceleration (beware) vi = initial speed at t0 vf = final speed at t1 a = acceleration t = elapsed time (normally t0 = 0 to t1 = t) s = distance travelled(displacement) at t1

OpenStudy (shamim):

ok

OpenStudy (shamim):

understood

OpenStudy (shamim):

thanks to help me@ MrNood

OpenStudy (mrnood):

IF you have covered any integration calculus you can derive all these from: acceleration a=dv/dt=constant Integrate once for velocity (=ds/dt) Integrate again for displacement (s) (don't forget the constants of integration)

OpenStudy (shamim):

hmmmm

OpenStudy (mrnood):

\[a = dv/dt\] \[dv = a dt\] \[\int\limits_{}^{}dv = \int\limits_{}^{} a dt\] \[v = at +c\] but when t = 0 v = vi Therefore v = vi + at But v = ds/dt So ds/dt = vi + at (at this point vi is a constant) so \[s=\int\limits_{}^{}(vi + at) dt\] \[s=v _{i} t + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }a t^{2}+c\] now - it is usual ( but not necessary) that s = 0 when t = 0 so in this case c=0 but in general \[s = s _{0}+v _{i}t+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }at ^{2}\]
