Equations of Motion (Grade 12 NSC Matric Physical Sciences): Flashcards

$9.8 \,\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}$

$0 \,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ (always zero)

$v_f = v_i + g t$

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2 g \Delta x$

Change in vertical position or displacement

Choose a positive direction and maintain it throughout

Displacement, initial velocity, acceleration, and time

Gravitational acceleration $g$

Select equation with fewest unknowns

$-9.8 \,\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}$ (negative)
