Kinematics

v = u + at

v = final speed [m/s]

u = initial speed [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s2]

t = time [s]

s = ut + (1/2)at2

s = distance [m]

u = initial speed [m/s]

t = time [s]

a = acceleration [m/s2]

v2 = u2 + 2as

v = final speed [m/s]

u = initial speed [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s2]

s = distance [m]
