EQUATIONS OF MOTION (SUVAT)

 

NOTE Some websites/Textbooks call the equations of motion UVAST rather than SUVAT. This GCSE PHYSICS website is an example.

Remember we are only considering CONSTANT ACCELERATION.

 

MOTION UNDER GRAVITY is a special case of MOTION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION

Here we assume that there is no air resistance and acceleration is only due to gravity. ACCELLERATION is considered to be 9.8 metres per sec squared in a direction which is VERTICALLY DOWNWARDS. Thus if the particle is moving UPWARDS there will be a NEGATIVE ACCELERATION.

 

This is a typical WJEC past paper question (part a of the question so the fact the mass is given is not needed for this part)
