SUVAT Equations Practice

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s² for 4 s. What is its final velocity?

You know initial velocity, acceleration and time, and need displacement — but not final velocity. Which SUVAT equation should you use?

A cyclist starts at 5 m/s and accelerates at 2 m/s² for 6 s. Find the final velocity.

A stone is dropped from rest from a bridge. How far does it fall in the first 3 s? (Use g = 9.8 m/s².)

A train accelerates uniformly from 5 m/s to 20 m/s at 3 m/s². How far does it travel during the acceleration?

A ball is thrown vertically upward at 15 m/s. What maximum height does it reach? (Use g = 9.8 m/s².)

A car braking from 25 m/s comes to rest over a distance of 50 m. What is its (uniform) deceleration?

What is the key assumption behind all five SUVAT equations?

Doubling the travel time doubles the distance covered when starting from rest under constant acceleration.

The equation v = u + at gives the velocity after time t for motion with constant acceleration.
