Detailed explanation-1: -In the equation V = d/t, V is the velocity, d is the distance, and t is the time. Determine the object’s acceleration by dividing the object’s mass by force and multiply the answer by the time it took for it to accelerate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, s) over the change in time (t), represented by the equation v = s/t. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (t), represented by the equation r = d/t.

Detailed explanation-3: -Example 1: The basic formula for calculating the velocity of an object is v = d / t, where “v” is the velocity, “d” is the displacement, and “t” is the time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time. To work out what the units are for speed, you need to know the units for distance and time. In this example, distance is in metres (m) and time is in seconds (s), so the units will be in metres per second (m/s).

Detailed explanation-5: -They are known as SUVAT equations because they contain the following variables: s-distance, u-initial velocity, v-velocity at time t, a-acceleration and t-time.
