Question

Derive the equation v2 u2 2as where the symbol has thin meaning

Answer 1

Hello there! Here is the answer to your question: Distance travelled=Average velocity*time                               =(u+v)/2*t u=initial velocity,v=final velocity,t=time,a=acceleration,s=distance or displacement a=(v-u)/t,therefore t=(v-u)/a Now,substituting the value of t as t=(v-u)/a,we get: s=(u+v)/2*(v-u)/a s=(v+u)(v-u)/2a s=(v2-u2)/2a Therefore,                   v2-u2=2as Hope it helped you!
