Formula and explanation

Formula: v = (v₀ + v)/(2) Conditions: Uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion, acceleration a is constant. Explanation: This formula indicates that in uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion, the average velocity over a time interval is equal to half the sum of the initial and final velocities.
