Kinematic Equations

Kinematic equations describe how an object moves when its acceleration is constant. They relate key aspects like position (where it is), velocity (how fast and in what direction), acceleration (how its speed changes), and time. These equations allow you to predict one value if you know the others. For example, if you know an object’s starting speed, acceleration, and time, you can find how far it has traveled or its final speed. They are essential tools in physics and engineering for modeling motion, ensuring precise calculations without needing to track every moment of movement.
