Write three equations of uniformly accelerated motion. Also, state the symbols used.

a) The first equation of motion: v = u + at


where: v = final velocity (m/s)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration (m/s2)
t = time (s)


b) The second equation of motion: s = ut + at2


where: s = distance covered (m)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration (m/s2)
t = time (s)


c) The third equation of motion: v2 – u2 = 2as


where: s = distance covered (m)
v = final velocity (m/s)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration (m/s2)
