The SUVAT Equations
(in no particular order)
Missing
Variable
v=u+at s
s=vt-12at2 u
s=ut+12at2 v
s=u+v2t a
v2=u2+2as t

A table of the rearrangement of these equations.


Each variable has the following meanings

sDisplacementmetres / m
uInitial velocitymetres per second / ms-1
vFinal velocitymetres per second / ms-1
aAccelerationmetres per second squared / ms-2
tTimeseconds / s

Further details can be found at Wikipedia: Equations of motion - Uniform acceleration


Further, the velocity is the rate of change of displacement so,

at+u=dsdt

Integrating,

s=at+udt s=12at2+ut+C
