What is the equation of motion for displacement?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
There are three primary equations of motion for displacement:
- v = u + at (relates velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and time)
- s = ut + ½at² (gives displacement directly)
- v² = u² + 2as (connects velocities, acceleration, and displacement without time)
These equations apply only when acceleration is constant. They're fundamental tools for solving kinematics problems in physics classes 9, 10, and 11.
