    The document derives the kinematics equations for uniformly accelerated motion based on properties of velocity-time graphs. It shows that the slope of the graph equals acceleration, the area under the graph equals displacement, and rearranging these equations gives the kinematics equations relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time. Specifically, it derives that displacement equals initial velocity times time plus one-half acceleration times time squared.

    Kinematics: Derivation of the Kinematics Equations for Uniformly Accelerated Motion

    This derivation is based on the properties of a velocity-time graph for uniformly accelerated motion where the  
    slope of the graph represents the acceleration graph's area represents the displacement

    Equation #1: slope = acceleration Starting with the slope

    where

    gives us our first equation:

    In this equation    
    a represents the object's uniform acceleration t represents the time interval over which the object's velocity changed vf represents the object's final velocity at the end of the time interval vo represents the object's initial velocity at the beginning of the time interval

    Equation #2: rearrange equation #1 for vf

    Equation #3: area = displacement

    Equation #4: multiply equation #1 by equation #3

    Equation #1:

    Equation #3:

    Equation #5: substitute equation #2 into equation #3
