S2 Physics: Equations of Motion by Kalema Brian
0 views 0 downloads 0 shares 3 October 2026

These notes by Kalema Brian of Trinity College Nabbingo introduce linear motion through definitions of distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration. They distinguish scalar and vector quantities and explain uniform velocity and uniform acceleration. The resource derives three equations of motion and demonstrates their use in calculations involving initial and final velocity, time, acceleration and displacement. Worked examples are followed by five practice questions, including problems on acceleration and deceleration. Some examples contain inconsistent values, incorrect unit labels or confusion between distance and displacement, so the material needs checking before classroom use.
