Well where i come from this equation is written as ;

#s = ut - 1/2 at^2#[ Deceleration]

Okay for this we use the 1st kinematics equation;

#v = u +at#

#s = ½ (u+v) t#

#s = ½ (u + v) × t #

#s = ½ (u + u + at) × t #

#s = ut + ½ at²# {here #+ at # as the acceleration is positive}

Using the 2 equations we already know we can derive the 3rd equation

I used #t_1# to represent reaction time instead of #t# in my deduction.
