Velocity (Vo): Velocity refers to the rate at which an object changes its position. It includes both speed and direction.

Time (t): Time represents the duration or interval during which an event occurs or an object moves.

Acceleration (a): Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It can be positive, negative, or zero depending on whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or maintaining a constant velocity.
