Calculating the initial or final speed/velocity of an object is essential in physics and can be done using the acceleration and time. This formula is derived from the kinematic equations and is a fundamental concept in mechanics. By knowing the acceleration of an object and the time it travels, you can calculate its initial or final speed/velocity. This formula is often used in real-world applications, such as calculating the speed of a vehicle or the velocity of a projectile. Understanding how to use acceleration and time to determine an object's initial or final speed/velocity is a critical skill for anyone studying physics or working in related fields.
An alternative formula for determining the velocity can be derived from:
The SI unit of linear speed/velocity is:
