When do I use s = ut + ½at² in Kinematics, and what does it mean?

displacement after time t under constant acceleration.

s = ut + ½at² — displacement after time t under constant acceleration. Use it when: acceleration is constant. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

s = ut + ½at²
