Hey,

The equations of motion are a set of mathematical equations that describe the motion of an object. These equations are derived from Newton's laws of motion and are widely used in physics and engineering to analyze and solve problems related to the motion of objects.

The most commonly used equations of motion are -

  1. Displacement : The change in position of an object is given by the equation s = ut + (½)at², where s represents the displacement , u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.
  2. Velocity: The velocity of an object is given by the equation v = u + at, where v represents the final velocity, u is the initial velocity , t is the time , and a is the acceleration.
  3. Acceleration : The acceleration of an object is given by the equation a = (v-u)/t , where a represents the acceleration, v is the final velocity , u is the initial velocity , and t is the time.

Hope it helps!!!
