The final velocity of an object moving in one dimension is given by the formula v = u + at, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. Solve this equation for t.

To solve for t, first
both sides of the equation.

Given problem;

We are to make t, the subject of the expression v = u + at.

The equation is one of the equations of motion.

Usually, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

To make "t" the subject of the expression; follow these steps;

v = u + at

  1. Subtract "u" from both sides;

v (-u) = u (-u) + at

2. the expression is now;

v - u = at

3. now multiply both sides by
(1)/(a) to isolate "t";


(1)/(a)(v - u) = at x
(1)/(a)

t =
(v - u)/(a)
