- u β†’ Initial velocity; velocity of an object at the beginning of motion.

- a β†’ Acceleration; rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

- t β†’ Time interval; duration for which the object is moving.

### Usage:

- Used to calculate final velocity when initial velocity, acceleration, and time are known.
