Derive the equation s=ut+1/2at^2 for position_time relation for an object travelling under uniform acceleration on straight path

Answer»

Explanation:

We know that

DISPLACEMENT(s) = average velocity x TIME( t)

But for the same time,

average velocity = ( u + v) /2

=> s = ( u + v )/2 x t

Also, according to the 1st equation of motion,

v = u + at

substituting for v, we get:

s = ( u + u + at) /2 x t

=> s = ( 2u + at) /2 x t

=> s =( 2ut + at^2 )/2

=> s = ut + 1/2at^2

Hence PROVED.
