State the second equation of motion and explain the meaning of each term in it.

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

The second equation of motion is: s = ut + (1/2)at²

Where:
s = displacement of the object
u = initial velocity of the object
a = acceleration of the object
t = time taken for the displacement 's'
