Linear kinematics

The analysis of linear motion without regard to its origin and effects is called linear kinematics.

Average speed

The average speed of an object is equal to the distance it covers in a certain time period divided by that amount of time.

where:

V = average speed

s = distance

t = time

Constant acceleration

When acceleration is constant the equations relating distance and speed to time take the following forms:

Where: V = speed V₀ =  initial speed t = time a =  acceleration s = distance
