Second Equation of Motion

### Formula:

$$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$$

### Terminologies:

- s β†’ Displacement; change in position of an object.

- u β†’ Initial velocity; velocity at the start of motion.

- t β†’ Time interval; total time for which motion occurs.

- a β†’ Acceleration; rate of change of velocity.

- tΒ² β†’ Square of time interval.

### Usage:

- Used to calculate displacement when initial velocity, acceleration, and time are known.
