A student is asked to solve the following problem:

An object is thrown upwards with a speed of 25 m s^-1. How high will it be when the speed is 12 m s^-1 ?

Which equation will allow the problem to be solved in a SINGLE calculation?

• $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

• $s=\frac{\left(u+v\right)t}{2}$

• $v=u+at$

• $v^2=u^2+2as$
