Why are squared vectors invalid in SUVAT 2D?

Vectors cannot be squared

2D SUVAT: velocity equation

v=u+at\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{a}t

2D SUVAT: displacement equation (with u\mathbf{u}, a\mathbf{a})

s=ut+12at2\mathbf{s} = \mathbf{u}t + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{a}t^2

2D SUVAT: displacement equation (with v\mathbf{v}, a\mathbf{a})

s=vt12at2\mathbf{s} = \mathbf{v}t - \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{a}t^2

Due east means what for position vector?

y=0y = 0 and xx has a value

North-east means what for position vector?

x=yx = y (x-coordinate equals y-coordinate)

Acceleration vector for constant velocity

a=(0,0)\mathbf{a} = (0, 0) or a=0\mathbf{a} = \mathbf{0}

Speed from velocity vector (vx,vy)(v_x, v_y)

v=vx2+vy2|\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

Condition for two particles to meet

Position vectors equal at same time

Which 1D SUVAT equation is invalid in 2D?

v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2as
