in the equations:

v=u+at
s=ut+1/2at^2
v^2=u^2+2as

what do v, u, a, t and s each represent?


v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
a = displacement
t = time

t = time (seconds)
a = acceleration (meters per second per second)
u = initial velocity (meters per second)
v = final velocity (meters per second)
s = displacement (meters)
