Step-by-step explanation:


\text{Acceration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.}</p><p>\text{Suppose the initial velocity is }u,\text{ and the final velocity is }v.</p><p>\text{Then the change of speed is }v-u. </p><p>\text{If such velocity change takes }t\text{ seconds, the average acceleration is }a. </p><p>\text{So we write}


(v-u)/(t)=a\implies v=u+at
