#2.7.3 Suvat formulae

ProgressNo skill scores yet

Understand, use and derive the formulae for constant acceleration for motion in a straight line.

Derivation may use knowledge of sections 7.2 and/or 7.4.

Extend to 2 dimensions using vectors.

Understand and use suvat formulae for constant acceleration in 2-D,

e.g. v=u+at\bold{v} = \bold{u} + \bold{a}t, r=ut+12at2\bold{r} = \bold{u}t + \frac{1}{2}\bold{a}t^2 with vectors given in i−j\bold{i} - \bold{j} or column vector form.

Use vectors to solve problems.
