This page offers a clear explanation of the equations that can be used to describe the one-dimensional, constant acceleration motion of an object in terms of its three kinematic variables: velocity, displacement, and time. A set of problems accompanies the text, giving students practice in conceptual, algebraic, calculus-based, and statistical questions. This is part of an online textbook in introductory physics.
