Constant acceleration formulae - a quick test backmore
There is a short list of formulae that you must know. They refer to the variables:
s = displacement, u = initial velocity, v = final velocity
a = rate of acceleration, t = time.
In the following questions, you can assume constant acceleration.
Correct: Attempts: % Correct:

1 Given u, s and v you could find a using:
A
v=u+at		 B
s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2		 C
s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2		 D
v^2=u^2+2as		 E
s=\frac{1}{2}(u+v)t
     
2 Given the time of travel, the initial velocity and the final velocity you could find the distance travelled using:
