Question

Can the equation of motion s=ut + 1/2at^2 be used to find displacement

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ [at]t = ut + ½ at2

s = ut + ½at2

If the object starts from rest u = 0, and so the equation becomes:

s = ½at2

Another useful equation is:

v2 = u2 + 2as
