The correct answer is 'C'. I don't understand why my working is wrong. What is the optimal way to do a question like this?
The SUVAT equation is a formula used in physics to calculate the displacement (S), initial velocity (U), final velocity (V), acceleration (A), and time (T) of an object's motion. It is commonly used in kinematics problems.
To use the SUVAT equation, you need to identify the known variables and plug them into the appropriate places in the equation. Then, you can solve for the unknown variable by rearranging the equation. It is important to pay attention to the units of measurement and use consistent units throughout the equation.
No, the SUVAT equation is only applicable to objects moving with constant acceleration. This means that the acceleration must remain constant throughout the motion. If the acceleration is changing, a different equation, such as the kinematic equations, must be used.
No, the SUVAT equation can be used in both one-dimensional (straight line) and two-dimensional (curved) motion. However, in two-dimensional motion, the equation must be applied separately for each dimension.
Yes, the SUVAT equation assumes that there are no external forces acting on the object besides the initial velocity and acceleration. It also assumes that the acceleration remains constant throughout the motion. In real-world situations, these assumptions may not always hold true, so the results may not be entirely accurate.
