Third Equation of Uniformly Accelerated Motion

The third equation is used in a situation when the acceleration, position and initial velocity are known, and the final velocity is desired but the time t is not known.

x – x0 = ½(v + v0)t

t = (v - v0)/a

x – x0 = ½(v + v0)(v - v0)/a

2a(x – x0) = v2 – v02

v2 = v02 + 2a(x – x0)
