Verified answer
There are three equations of motion :1). v = u + at
2). s = ut + 1/2 at²
3). 2as = v² - u²
Verified answer
u----initial velocityv---final velocity
a--- acceleration
g--acceleration due to gravity
s-- distance tralelled
t--- time taken
-------------------------------------------------------------
the basic equations of motion are
1) v = u +at
2)s = ut + 1/2at²
3)v²= u² + 2as
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASE 1
Body undergoing retardation:
v= u - at
s= ut - 1/2at²
v²= u² - 2as
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 2
body is falling freely
the gravity will be acting down wards and the body is also falling down so the gravity will be taken as positive
v= u + gt
s= ut + 1/2gt²
v²= u² + 2gs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASE 3
body thrown upwards
the gravity will be acting downwards so the value of 'g' is taken as negative
v= u - gt
s= ut - 1/2gt²
v²= u² - 2gs
-------------------------------------------------------
stopping distance = u²
a
--------------------------------------------------
distance traveled by the body in nth second
Sn = u + a/2 (2n-1)
Sn -- Distance traveled in nth second
u = initial velocity
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
speed = distance / time
-----------------------------
velocity = displacement /time
-----------------------
acceleration = velocity /time
--------------------------
centripetal acceleration = ω² r
r-- radius
------------------------------------
centripetal fore = mω²r
m-- mass
r- radius
-------------------------
where ω = v²/r for both the centripetal formulas given above
