Which equation of motion directly relates v, u, a and t?

Answer: v = u + at.

  • A v = u + at
  • B s = ut + ½at²
  • C v² = u² + 2as
  • D s = vt only

Correct answer: A. v = u + at

Explanation: v = u + at links final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration and time.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context
