What does S stand for in second equation of motion?
S stand in motion for distance or displacement . In formula S=ut+1/2at^2 or also in many formula. 1jaiz4 and 6 more users found this answer helpful.
What is S UT ½ at2?
Displacement (s) of an object equals, velocity (u) times time (t), plus ½ times acceleration (a) times time squared (t2).
Is s displacement or distance?
The Latin word for distance is spatium. It’s also the source of the English word space. In this book, and many others, the letter s will be used for distance and displacement. Scalar quantities are italicized.
Why is s used for position?
“S” stands for the Latin word “spatium”, which means distance or space. In a Science Asylum video I learnt that ‘s’ in displacement came from the German word “strecke”, which means route in English. This is possible, as German is often considered the second most important language in science and technology.
What is the meaning of s in physics?
second
s = second (time)
Why is s symbol for distance?
How do you represent distance in physics?
The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter [m].
Why does s represent distance?
The origin of the symbols for displacement (∆s) and distance (∆s) is spatium, the Latin word for space (like the space between two locations).
Why is there a 1/2 in the formula S=Ut+1/2at^2?
Now the answer to ‘why there is a 1/2 in the formula?’ : So the 1/2 is introduced during averaging of the change of velocity. How does ‘s’ in s=ut+1/2at^2 represents position and not distance.i am unable to get it? If you consider the line equation y = mx + c, you can re-write it as (y – c)/x = m (Say, this is equation 1).
How can you prove mathematically that s=ut+1/2 at^2?
Originally Answered: How can you prove mathematically that S=ut+1/2 at^2? s = t (u+v)/2 usually written as that. You could also sketch the v-t graph (a trapezium) and work out its area (a rectangle plus a triangle) and get s = t (u+v)/2 usually written as that.
What is the initial velocity at time t = 0?
The initial velocity (at time t = 0) is v. the acceleration MUST be constant, a steady, LINEAR increase or decrease of velocity IF this equation is to be valid. If you decide to conti d = distance travelled, IF you start measuring the distance as zero at time t = 0, or, if the velocity and acceleration are zero.
What is uu and a in the equation?
U is the speed at which it starts. A is the acceleration at which it’s moving. T is time. In the equation s= ut +1/2at² . How can I make t the subject of the formula?
