Our Problem can be classified as an indirect problem of kinematics. Thus from (1.3) & (1.2) we have to move towards (1.1) .It is of utmost importance in any kind of problem to know your direction (even if you don't know the path.)

Using (1.3)

dvdt=adv=adtuvdv=0tadt\cfrac { dv }{ dt } =a \\ dv=adt \\ \int _{ u }^{ v }{ dv } =\int _{ 0 }^{ t }{ adt }

As the time changes from 0 to t the velocity changes from u to v.So on the left hand side the summation is made over v from u to v whereas on the right hand side the summation is made on time from 0 to t. Evaluating the integrals we get

[v]uv=a[t]0tvu=atv=u+at{ [v] }_{ u }^{ v }=a{ [t] }_{ 0 }^{ t } \\ v-u=at \\ v=u+at

Using (1.2) the last equation may be written as

dxdt=v=u+atdx=(u+at)dt0xdx=0t(u+at)dt\cfrac { dx }{ dt } =v=u+at \\ dx=(u+at)dt \\ \int _{ 0 }^{ x }{ dx } =\int _{ 0 }^{ t }{ (u+at)dt }

At t=0 the particle is at x=0. As time changes from 0 to t the position changes from 0 to x.So on the left hand side the summation is made on position from 0 to x whereas on the right hand side the summation is made on time from 0 to t.Evaluating the integrals we get,

[x]0x=0tudt0tatdtx=u[t]0t+a[t2/2]0tx=ut+(at2)/2{ [x] }_{ 0 }^{ x }=\int _{ 0 }^{ t }{ udt } \int _{ 0 }^{ t }{ atdt } \\ x=u{ [t] }_{ 0 }^{ t }+a{ { [t }^{ 2 }/2] }_{ 0 }^{ t } \\ x=ut+(a{ t }^{ 2 })/2

Using the above two derived expressions,

v2=(u+at)2=u2+2uat+a2t2=u2+2a[ut+12at2]=u2+2ax{ v }^{ 2 }={ (u+at) }^{ 2 } \\ ={ u }^{ 2 }+2uat+{ a }^{ 2 }{ t }^{ 2 } \\ ={ u }^{ 2 }+2a[ut+\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } a{ t }^{ 2 }] \\ ={ u }^{ 2 }+2ax

The equations

v=u+atv=u+at

x=ut+12at2x=ut+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } a{ t }^{ 2 }

v2=u2+2ax{ v }^{ 2 }={ u }^{ 2 }+2ax

are used very frequently while solving problems in kinematics involving constant acceleration as one of the physical quantities.If,however,the acceleration isn't constant,these three equations are not useful.We, then, need other tools & procedures.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
