[edit] Merging into Equation of motion

As much as I enjoyed vectorising these equations and so on, it looks like this article overlaps a lot with equation of motion. Any comments? – drw25 (talk) 17:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe that this page should remain separate, from an educational point of view mostly. These equations are frequently referred to just as "SUVAT" equations and not necessarily "equations of motion", and it is very easy for students to find just what they are looking for when researching SUVAT with this page. I feel to merge this page with the equation of motion would just result in added confusion. Skyld 14:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • By my reckoning both pages contain exactly the same equations, but with different symbols. If the articles were merged, SUVAT would redirect to equations of motion, so a search for SUVAT would still bring up the relevant equations. – drw25 (talk) 14:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
