SUVAT Equations

The SUVAT equations are a collection of 5 equations pertaining to constant acceleration. They are named SUVAT after the terms of which they involve.

  1. v = u + at
  2. s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2
  3. s = \frac{1}{2}(u + v)t
  4. v^2 = u^2 + 2as
  5. s = vt - \frac{1}{2}at^2

Its worth noting that only equation 4 is used at GCSE-level, and it will be provided on the equation sheet - in addition AQA provide the equation in a different form.
