Kindly list the equations of motion and in instances they are used
1. Linear motion:
- Equations of motion for linear motion are often used in physics to describe the movement of an object in a straight line with uniform acceleration. The three equations are:
- v = u + at (where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time)
- s = ut + 1/2 at^2 (where s is displacement)
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as
2. Projectile motion:
- Equations of motion for projectile motion are used to describe the trajectory of an object that is launched into the air and moves in two dimensions under the influence of gravity. The equations are a combination of linear motion equations and equations for motion in a straight line.
3. Circular motion:
- Equations of motion for circular motion are used to describe the movement of an object in a circular path. These include equations for centripetal acceleration, angular velocity, and centripetal force.
4. Simple harmonic motion:
- Equations of motion for simple harmonic motion are used to describe periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. These equations include the equation for position as a function of time, velocity as a function of time, and acceleration as a function of time.
