Q

final velocity formula

A

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
s = distance travelled while accelerating
a = acceleration

formula only works when acceleration is constant

Q

acceleration formula

A

acceleration = change in velocity/ time taken

(v-u)/t

(a negative value means deceleration - slowing down)
