These equations relate displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time, and apply under the following conditions:
Straight-line motion | Rotational motion |
---|---|
v = vo + at | ω = ωo + α t |
x - xo = vo t + ½ a t2 | θ - θo = ωo t + ½ α t2 |
x - xo = ½ (v + vo) t | θ - θo = ½ (ω + ωo) t |
v2 = vo2 + 2 a (x - xo) |
