please derive the equation v*v=u*u+2as for me i am really confused

Expert Answer:
Consider the velocity–time graph of a body with initial velocity ‘u’ at point A.
It has uniform acceleration from A to B because its velocity changes uniformly in time ‘t’. After time t, its final velocity is ‘v’.
In the graph, u = OA, v = CB, t = OC.
We draw perpendicular CB from point C and draw AD parallel to OC. Also, BE is the perpendicular from B to OE.
Third equation of motion: v2 = u2 + 2as
The distance travelled is equal to the area of the figure OABC. Now, OABC is a trapezium.

- when brakes are applied to a bus, the retardation produced is 25 cm s^-2 and the bus takes 20 second to stop calculate the initial velocity of the bus and the distance travelled by bus during this time
- a body moving with uniform acceleration travels 84m in the first 6s and 180m in the next 5 second find the initial velocity
- physics
- Can the equations of motion be used in a situation where acceleration varies with time? Can they be used when acceleration is zero?

- A bullet initially moving with a velocity 20ms-1 strikes a target and comes to rest after penetra penettating
- A car slows down from 108 km/hr to 18 km/hr over a distance of 40 meter. If the brakes are applied with the same force . Calculate 1) total time in which car comes to rest . 2) total distance travelled by it.
