Problem

State the relation that connects distance travelled ss, initial velocity uu, final velocity vv and time tt for a body moving with uniform acceleration.
Intuitive explanation

This is about deriving one of the core kinematic equations that links position and velocity without needing acceleration explicitly. The key insight is to use the definition of average velocity: for uniform acceleration, the average velocity is simply u+v2\frac{u+v}{2}, and distance is average velocity times time. This elegant approach avoids calculus and gives you a direct, practical relationship between the four quantities.
