Sure there are

Explanation:

As a starting point, just take your equations for 1-D and apply them in 2-D

so in 1-D, v = u + at

in 2-D rectangular (x-y) co-ordinates these become:

vec v =((v_x),(v_y)) = ((u_x),(u_y)) + ((a_x),(a_y)) t

you can completely generalise by saying that vec v = d/dt vec r and vec a = d^2/dt^2 vec r and then choose the coordinate system if you like
