Abstract
The equations of motion in unified five-dimensional theory of gravitation, electromagnetism, and scalar field are considered. It is shown that some of the equations of the theory follow from the rest as equations of motion. In the classical limit of the theory, the equations of motion are found, which coincide with the related equations of general relativity. The similarity of the classical limit of the five-dimensional theory and of the Brans-Dicke theory is noted.
