OF MOTION

u= Initial velocity
v= Final velocity
s= Displacement
t= Time
What does
the SUVAT
STAND for?

Derive v= u +at
Applied Examples
What formula
to use?

If a cyclist is moving
from A to B in 6 seconds with an initial
velocity at point A of 5m/s and final
velocity at point B of 10m/s, what is the
displacement in mm from A to B?
Where will they
meet?
