Derive the formula :$v = u + at$, where the symbols have usual meanings.


Let a moving body starts from the velocity $u$ and in time $t$ and let $a$ be the acceleration of the body.

We know that the acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity with respect to the time.

Therefore, $a=\frac{change\ in\ velocity}{time}$

Or $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Or $at=v-u$

Or $v==u+at$
