Kinematic Equation 1

v = v_{0} + a t

Relates final velocity to initial velocity, acceleration, and time.

Variables

v

Final velocity

Velocity at time t

m/s

v₀

Initial velocity

Velocity at t=0

m/s

a

Acceleration

Constant acceleration

m/s²

t

Time

Elapsed time

s

Derivation

From a = (v - v₀)/t, solving for v gives v = v₀ + at.
