Hi,
I hope it is a very simple mistake and easy to spot.
Suppose you start at rest so initial velocity is 0 and you accelerate constantly over a certain distance.
An acceleration vs. distance graph (not time) would be like a rectangle. The area under the graph would be A=as=(s/t2)*s = v2.
According to v2=u2+2as, so that v2=2as and not as. I can't work out if the math or the general idea is wrong.
Hopefully I was clear enough. Thanks for any help!
