Equation
v = u + at
Variables
- v = final velocity
- u = initial velocity
- a = acceleration
- t = time
Units
- Velocity: meters per second (m/s)
- Acceleration: meters per second squared (m/s²)
- Time: seconds (s)
When To Use This Formula
Use this formula to find final velocity when acceleration, initial velocity, and time are known.
Rearranged Equations
- u = v - at
- a = (v - u) / t
- t = (v - u) / a
How to Use This Formula
- Identify the known values from the problem statement.
- Convert all values into compatible units.
- Substitute the values into the equation and calculate the result.
- Check that the final answer has the correct unit and meaning.
