Need to Do :-

  • How can we say that h = -ut+½at² .

\red{\frak{Given}}\Bigg\{ \sf h = -ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

We know that the second equation of motion , which establishes the relationship between Displacement , initial Velocity , time and acceleration is :-

Second equation of motion :-

\sf\to\red{ s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2 }

This is valid for straight line motion , but when a object is projected vertically ( at 90° ) , then here , the

Displacement becomes Height .

Accelⁿ becomes gravity .

Also here we see that , the

  • g acts vertically downwards .
  • Initial velocity is in upwards dirⁿ .

Now , if we take downwards direction as positive , then the acceleration due to gravity will be positive ( since it a acts downwards ) and the initial velocity will be negative ( since its direction is upwards ) . Henceforth , by sign convention the equation transforms into ,
