Equations of motion are mathematical formulas that describe the relationship between an object's displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. They allow us to calculate unknown quantities based on known values.
Displacement: Displacement is the change in position of an object from its initial point to its final point.
Time Interval: Time interval refers to the duration between two specific points in time.
Initial Velocity/Final Velocity: Initial velocity is the starting velocity of an object, while final velocity is its ending velocity after a certain time interval.
