constant acceleration vectors
What constant acceleration vectors means in Mathematics A-Level, as defined for WJEC.
Definition of constant acceleration vectors
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain constant acceleration vectors in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: WJEC
Straight-line suvat formulas generalize directly to two dimensions under constant vector acceleration a, and the vector equations can be derived by integrating a with respect to time t.
