Derive following equations for a uniformly accelerated motion
$(i)$ $v=u+a t$
$(ii)$ $S=u t+1 / 2 a t^{2}$
$(iii)$ $v^{2}-u^{2}=2 a S,$ where symbols have their usual meaning.
Suppose, the initial velocity of a body is $u$ and it is moving with uniform acceleration ' $a^{\prime}$ for time $t$. Let the final velocity be $v$ and the distance covered be S. Then, we have
$(i)$ Acceleration $=\frac{\text { Change in velocity }}{\text { Time elapsed }}$
or $a=\frac{v-u}{t} \text { or } v=u+a t$
$(ii)$ The average velocity is given by
$\bar{v}=\frac{u+v}{2} \quad \ldots(1) \quad$ Also, $\bar{v}=\frac{S}{t} \quad \ldots(2)$
From equations $(1)$ and $(2),$ we have
$\frac{u+v}{2}=\frac{ S }{t}$ or $S =\frac{u+v}{2} \times t$ $\ldots(3)$
But $v=u+a t,$ substituting in the above equation, we have
$S=\frac{u+(u+a t)}{2} \times t$
Rewriting, we have $S=u t+1 / 2 a t^{2}$
$(iii)$ From $(3)$, we have $S=\frac{u+v}{2} \times t$
Also, $v=u+$ at or $t=\frac{v-u}{a}$
Substituting in the above equation, we have
$S =\frac{u+v}{2} \times \frac{v-u}{a}$
Rewriting, we have $v^{2}-u^{2}=2 a S$
What is meant by uniform motion ? Can you think of an example of a body in uniforim motion ?
Derive the equation $v^{2}-u^{2}=2 a S$ graphically.
Explain the differences between the two graphs.
Draw velocity-time graphs for the following situations
$(i)$ When body is moving with uniform velocity.
$(ii)$ When body is moving with variable velocity, but uniform acceleration.
$(iii)$ When body is moving with variable velocity, but uniform retardation.
$(iv)$ When body is moving with a variable velocity and variable acceleration.
For the motion on a straight line path with constant acceleration the ratio of the maqnitude of the displacement to the distance covered is
