    (C1)v=v0+atv = v_0 + a txx0x - x_0
    (C2)xx0=v0t+12at2x - x_0 = v_0 t + \tfrac12 a t^2vtv_t
    (C3)v2=v02+2a(xx0)v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a(x - x_0)tt
    (C4)xx0=vt12at2x - x_0 = v t - \tfrac12 a t^2v0v_0
    (C5)xx0=12(v0+v)tx - x_0 = \tfrac12 (v_0 + v) taa
  • The term xx0x - x_0 is also written as Δx\Delta x or ss, and there are other variations, e.g. x=xt=x(t)x = x_t = x(t), v=vt=v(t)v = v_t = v(t), etc.
