1. SUVAT Variables

"Students Universally Value Achieving Top"

  • S — Displacement (s)
  • U — Initial velocity (u)
  • V — Final velocity (v)
  • A — Acceleration (a)
  • T — Time (t)

2. Which equation omits which variable?

"SVT — Sgt. V is absent, Time is absent, s is absent"

  • Equation 1: v = u + at → omits S
  • Equation 2: s = ut + ½at2at^{2} → omits V
  • Equation 3: v2v^{2} = u2u^{2} + 2as → omits T

3. Projectile Trig Pattern: THR

"Take Height — Single, Squared, Synced"

  • T (time): sinθ\sin\theta (power 1)
  • H (height): sin2θ\sin^2\theta (power 2)
  • R (range): sin2θ\sin 2\theta (double angle)
  • All denominators: g, 2g, g

4. Complementary Angles

"30 and 60 — Same Range, Steeper is Higher"

  • Same range because sin(2×30°)=sin(2×60°)=sin60°\sin(2\times30°) = \sin(2\times60°) = \sin 60°
  • 60° → 3× the height of 30°

5. Centripetal vs Centrifugal

"Centripetal = Centre-seeking (REAL force on rotating body)" "Centrifugal = Centre-fleeing (PSEUDO force in rotating frame)"

6. Graph Rules

"SAVE — Slope And Velocity-time gives Everything"

  • Slope of x-t = velocity
  • Area under v-t = displacement
  • V-t slope = acceleration
  • Everything else is derived
