SUVAT formulae Flashcards
In SUVAT, what do the letters stand for?
S = Displacement (not distance) U = Initial velocity
V = Final velocity
A = Acceleration
T = Time
What is the constant for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth)?
9.8 ms-2
What is the SUVAT formula for final velocity?
V = U + AT
What is the SUVAT formula for displacement using initial velocity, final velocity and time?
S = (V + U)/2 x T
What is the SUVAT formula for displacement using initial velocity, acceleration and time?
S = UT + 1/2AT2
What is the SUVAT formula for displacement using final velocity, acceleration and time?
S = VT - 1/2AT2
What is the SUVAT formula for final velocity squared?
V2 = U2 + 2AS
