State the first equation of motion and explain the meaning of each term in it.

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

The first equation of motion is: v = u + at

Where:
v = final velocity of the object
u = initial velocity of the object
a = acceleration of the object
t = time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
