uniform motion equations


for: a particle in uniform motion

are: a set of equations which describe one-dimensional (linear) motion with uniform velocity (i.e. with acceleration ).   [P2.1, P2.2]

relate: the displacement and velocity at time to the initial velocity at time    [P2.1, P2.2]

are given: by



where the displacement, is taken to be zero when    [P2.1, P2.2]
