In the previous segment, we derived the second equation of motion. In this segment, we will learn to derive the third equation of motion.
Derivation of second equation of motion: Position–velocity relation
Let us obtain the third equation of motion by graphical method.
We will use the velocity-time graph with the same labellings that we used to derive the first and the second equations of motion.
This is the first equation of motion:
Velocity–time graph
v = u + at
