The equations of motion

s="displacement"

u="initial velocity"

v="final velocity"

a "= constant acceleration"

t="time"

A particle is travelling in a straight line with constant acceleration.

The particle’s displacement will be its average velocity multiplied by time.

The particle’s acceleration will be its change in velocity divided by time.
