What are the equations used in rectilinear motion?
In this post, you use mathematical modelling and graphs, selected from a range of technologies, to analyse and derive relationships between time, distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration in rectilinear motion, as a part of the Prelim Physics course under the module Kinematics and sub-part Motion in a Straight Line. The equations used in rectilinear motion are:
- s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}
- v = u + at
- v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as
The following two videos cover the equations used in rectilinear motion and the relationships between each variable in horizontal and vertical motion.
