Suvat Equations Flashcards
What does SUVAT stand for in physics?
SUVAT stands for Displacement (S), Initial Velocity (U), Final Velocity (V), Acceleration (A), and Time (T).
Which SUVAT equation relates displacement, initial velocity, time, and acceleration?
The equation is S = Ut + (1/2)At².
True or False: The variable ‘U’ represents the final velocity in SUVAT equations.
False, ‘U’ represents the initial velocity.
Fill in the blank: The equation V = U + At calculates ______.
Final velocity (V).
What is the formula to calculate final velocity using initial velocity, acceleration, and time?
V = U + At.
Which SUVAT equation can be used to find displacement when only final velocity, initial velocity, and time are known?
S = ((U + V)/2) * t.
What is the correct unit for acceleration in SUVAT equations?
The unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).
Identify the SUVAT equation that does not include time.
V² = U² + 2AS.
In the equation S = Ut + (1/2)At², what does ‘S’ represent?
Displacement.

If an object has a constant acceleration of 2 m/s² and starts from rest, what is its velocity after 5 seconds?
10 m/s.
True or False: The SUVAT equations are applicable only in one-dimensional motion.
True.
What does the variable ‘A’ represent in the SUVAT equations?
Acceleration.
Fill in the blank: The equation S = Vt - (1/2)At² calculates the displacement when ______.

What is the primary assumption made when using SUVAT equations?
The acceleration is constant.
In the context of SUVAT, what does ‘t’ represent?
Time.
Which SUVAT equation would you use to calculate the distance traveled by an object when given the initial and final velocities?
S = ((U + V)/2) * t.

D) All of the above.
What is the result of the equation V² = U² + 2AS when A is zero?
V = U.
True or False: In the SUVAT equations, displacement can be negative.
True.
If an object moves with a constant velocity, what is the value of acceleration (A)?
0 m/s².
What is the relationship between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time derived from SUVAT equations?
V = U + At.
Fill in the blank: The distance an object travels under uniform acceleration can be calculated using ______.
SUVAT equations.
What is the significance of the term (1/2)At² in the SUVAT equation for displacement?
It accounts for the additional distance traveled due to acceleration.
