Understanding Equations of Motion

This document contains examples of equations of motion problems and their solutions. It begins by defining the variables used in equations of motion: displacement (S), initial velocity (U), final velocity (V), acceleration (a), and time (T). It then shows the key equations of motion and works through examples of calculating time, acceleration, displacement, force, and changes in kinetic energy using the given equations. Several examples involve cars accelerating and stopping, a plane accelerating during flight, objects with varying initial velocities experiencing gravity, and finding force needed to accelerate a vehicle of a given mass.
