How can we derive the 'suvat' equations of motion v=u+at and s=(u+v)t/2


A car of mass m travelling with a velocity v comes to rest over a distance d in time t. The constant frictional force acting on the car while it is braking is found using:


If a stationary observer sees a ship moving relativistically (near the speed of light), will it appear contracted or enlarged? And by how much.


On the line of centres between the Earth and the Moon, there is a point where the net gravitational force is zero. Given that the distance between the two is 385,000 km, and that the Earth has a mass 81x that of the Moon, how far is this point from Earth?
