The assumptions for the equations of motion are made because: The equations of motion (v = u + at, s = ut + (1)/(2)at^2, v^2 = u^2 + 2as) are derived specifically for situations where the acceleration is constant and the motion occurs along a straight line. If acceleration were not constant, or if the motion were curved, these simple algebraic equations would not accurately describe the motion, and more advanced calculus-based methods would be required.
