Motion under constant acceleration - SUVAT equations

what are suvat equation motion understand mechanics

In this section you will learn how to work with the equations of motion. Please understand that these equations only apply when there is constant acceleration (or deceleration). These equations of motion are also named SUVAT equations which are the variables which they represent. The S stands for displacement, U for the initial velocity, V for the final velocity, A for acceleration and T for time. I will explain all you need to know about how to use these SUVAT equations so you can pass your maths mechanics exams too. So quickly continue with your maths revision and study the first maths video. Mr John

Check the following question during your maths revision. I will explain to you how to use the SUVAT equations of motion to find the displacement and solve this past exam question. Make sure to realise you are only allowed to use the SUVAT equations when there is constant acceleration or deceleration. Let me know if you need more help with mechanics. Mr John

When you study this maths video you will understand how to use the SUVAT equations of motion to calculate the acceleration of a van and the time needed to travel a particular distance. I strongly advise you to study as many of these past exam questions when studying for your own maths exam. Good luck and have fun! Mr John

What are SUVAT equations and how to use them

I explain two more past paper questions in which you will learn how to use SUVAT equations. I will show you how to use these equations of motion to find the acceleration, displacement and velocity of a particle and the time taken to travel a particular distance. Try to answer these past exam questions yourself first before looking at my workings so you know whether you are ready for your own maths exam or not.

Good job! You now understand how to use the equations of motion (SUVAT) to calculate the displacement, velocity, acceleration and deceleration of a particle and how long it takes for a particle to travel a given distance.

There I have more free resources waiting for you in which I explain all you need to know about gravity and mechanics so you can pass your own maths mechanics exam too. I will see you there! Mr John
