Why are squared vector quantities invalid in 2D SUVAT?

There is no such thing as 'squared' vectors

2D SUVAT equation for velocity

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

2D SUVAT: displacement with u\mathbf{u} and a\mathbf{a}

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

2D SUVAT: displacement using average velocity

s=12(u+v)t\mathbf{s} = \frac{1}{2}(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})t

2D SUVAT: displacement with v\mathbf{v} and a\mathbf{a}

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

Which 1D SUVAT equation cannot extend to 2D?

v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2as (contains squared vectors)

What does 'due east of origin' mean?

y=0y = 0 and xx has a value

What does 'north-east of O' mean?

xx-coordinate equals yy-coordinate

How to find speed from velocity vector v\mathbf{v}?

v=x2+y2|\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

Position vector formula

Position = Initial position + Displacement

Condition for two particles to meet

Position vectors equal at the same time

Acceleration when velocity is constant

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