Second Equation of Motion
Calculate displacement under constant acceleration.
s = ut + ½at²
Formula Explanation
Displacement depends on initial velocity, acceleration and elapsed time.
Variables Explained
s = Displacement; u = Initial velocity; t = Time; a = Acceleration.
Solved Example
An object starts from rest and accelerates at 2 m/s² for 5 seconds.
s = 0 + ½ × 2 × 25 = 25 m.
