- TL;DR
- The three equations describing one-dimensional kinematics are well known from high school. The third connects velocity to displacement : ##{\boldsymbol{(3)}}\;\boxed{v^2(x)=v^2_0+2a_0(x-x_0)}##, where ##v_0,\, x_0## are the velocity and position of the body with respect to the origin at time ##t=0## and ##a_0## is the (constant) acceleration. (3) can be derived using both algebra and calculus. Question is - how to derive it using graph? (!)
Can either of the two graphs above be used to derive (3), namely : ##v^2(x)=v^2_0+2a_0(x-x_0)##?
Many thanks.
