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.

Subtract the initial velocity u from both sides: v − u = at. Then divide both sides by a to isolate t, giving t = (v − u)/a (assuming a ≠ 0). So the first step is to subtract u from both sides, matching “subtract u from.”
