THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACCELERATION, TIME AND DISTANCE
The purpose of this paper is to outline the steps from first principles (in this case, two definitions) leading to five equations of motion. These equations are logical in their development, and this gives clearer insight into their application to reconstruction problems. After deriving the first equation from the definition of acceleration, the approach will be to express the motion graphically and abstract from this the basis for the second equation. The remaining three will then be deduced using straightforward, elementary algebraic operations.
