Deriving the SUVAT Equations of Motion - A Level Physics

This video explains deriving the equations of motion (SUVAT equations) for A Level Physics.

You know the equations of motion, but where do they come from? This video shows how to derive the suvat equations using a simple velocity-time graph. Remember the gradient is equal to the acceleration and the area is equal to the displacement.

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

Is nobody going to mention the ridiculously perfect line he drew?

[whatsinaname]

Beautiful video that just gave me a really nice grip on those equations; I REALLY REALLY want to thank you very much for this!

[Elitea]

Big thank you from a student who is weak at maths (who is doing physics)

[MEWMERE]

0:22 that line was utterly _perfect._ I am seriously impressed.

[doseoffaiyaz]

Best video on the SUVAT equations hands down. Short and insightful!

[spacey_ace_kid]

Not a physics student, but this really helped for my A level mechanics. Thanks!

[alonsosainz]

Brilliant video, it should be in every A level Physics class when they teach SUVAT equations.

[hypprr]

studying a level as a self study course and this video is a total lifesaver

[dylanwhong-seaton]

Very helpful video! Clear and to the point.

[iohancosta]

That line went up better than my grades

[anushabenny]

thanks a lot!!! love the way you explained it.

[ritwikgossain]

This is perfect for my exam in a month

[hydridgg]

dude my teacher is bad, she's been teaching this for the past 2 weeks and i didnt understand anything, and you taught me everything in 5 minutes..

[Joel-fufu]

thank you i understand how to use them now

[edd]

bro might be the only reason I understand physics

[shlokbajaj]

Hey!
I searched up an explanation for these equations and came upon this one, in my book the second equation is “ S= ut + 1/2at^2 “
Can you please explain this to me ?

[itachi]

Are you allowed to derive them via calculus?

[anasrashid]

Why you divide it by 2 in second equation

[fitemebro]

sorry but this doesn't explain anything at all! Why bother deriving equations when you expect the viewer just to assume that S = the area under the curve without any explanation whatsoever?
