Definition
This equation determines the displacement of an object based on its average velocity and time interval. It assumes constant acceleration throughout the motion.
Related terms
Vf (Final Velocity): The final speed of an object after undergoing acceleration or deceleration.
t (Time): The duration for which an object undergoes motion or experiences change.
Vo (Initial Velocity): The initial speed of an object before any acceleration occurs.
