Derivation of First Equation of Motion. For the derivation, let us consider a body moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration. Then, let the initial velocity be u, acceleration is denoted as a, the time period is denoted as t, velocity is denoted as v, and the distance travelled is denoted as s.
There are three one-dimensional equations of motion for constant acceleration: velocity-time, displacement-time, and velocity-displacement.
The differential equation of motion for a particle of constant or uniform acceleration in a straight line is simple: the acceleration is constant, so the second derivative of the position of the object is constant.
We usually start with acceleration to derive the kinematic equations. We know that acceleration is approximately -9.8 m/s^2 (we're just going to use -9.8 so the math is easier) and we know that acceleration is the derivative of velocity, which is the derivative of position.
We start with the definitions of average acceleration, and average velocity, a ¯ = Δ v Δ t. v ¯ = Δ x Δ t. Kinematic equations are derived with the assumption that acceleration is constant. When the acceleration is constant, average and instantaneous acceleration are the same. So, we can replace a ¯ with a .
Maths. Deriving the suvat Formulae. What is suvat? suvat is an acronym for the five quantities used when modelling motion in a straight - line with constant acceleration. s – displacement (from the starting point) u – initial velocity. v – final velocity. a – acceleration. t – time. All except time are vector quantities and can be negative.
