The document provides information on kinematics equations for particles moving with constant acceleration in a straight line (SUVAT equations). It introduces the variables used in the equations (s, u, v, a, t) and provides examples of using the equations to solve kinematics problems involving displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. It also presents three additional SUVAT equations and works through examples of solving problems using these equations.

At time t = O, the particle passes through the origin, moving in the positive direction with speed 15ms-1. Calculate the distance travelled by the particle by the time it returns to the origin. 15ms-1 Draw a diagram O X The total distance travelled will be double the distance the particle reaches from O (point X)  At X, the velocity is 0 Replace v, u and a Simplify We are calculating s, using u, v and a Add 5s Divide by 5 45m is the distance from O to X. Double it for the total distance travelled 2B
