Physics
Third Equation of Motion
Relate velocity, acceleration and displacement without time.
v² = u² + 2as
Formula Explanation
This equation applies to straight-line motion with constant acceleration.
Variables Explained
u = Initial velocity; v = Final velocity; a = Acceleration; s = Displacement.
Solved Example
An object starts from rest and accelerates at 4 m/s² over 8 m.
v² = 0 + 2 × 4 × 8 = 64; v = 8 m/s.
