Homework Statement
Derive the equation v^2 = u^2 + 2as
I have no clue how to do this please can someone help!
Thank you!
Sure. But it's nice to have options. Some approaches are more intuitively obvious to different people.gneill, I am sure you are correct but you can also derive this equation from two basic equations and energy principals are not required.
Mass disappears by cancellation. No biggie. Or use specific energyIf you use energy, then you have to introduce mass and this is not necessary.
It's no more complicated an approach if you're familiar with the concept. Like I said, different strokes for different folks.So why complicate a simple problem?
Note that this equation is assuming that acceleration, the derivative of velocity with respect to time, is constant. This is, then, just a simple exercise in calculus.Homework Statement
