Equations of motion
When an object is projected vertically up from the earth, we regard the upward direction as the positive direction. The force of gravity produces acceleration downwards on the object. Acceleration is therefore taken as negative.
Let u = initial velocity,
v = final velocity,
a = acceleration,
t = time and
s = displacement.
