That's the formula for average acceleration.
vf or rather vf stands for final velocity
vi or rather vi stands for initial velocity
t stands for time.

(vf-vi)/ t is ?
A equals Vf minus Vi divided by time equals triangle v divided by time
Final Velocity minus Initial Velocity (all together this is the change in velocity) divided by the average acceleration will give you the time it took for the object to reach that speed.(Vf - Vi) / Aaverage = Time
To solve the equation vf = vi + at, where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time, you first need to identify the values of vi, a, and t. Then, substitute these values into the equation and solve for vf by adding vi and the product of a and t. This equation is derived from the kinematic equation vf = vi + at, which relates the final velocity of an object to its initial velocity, acceleration, and time.
acceleration cannot be calculated from these values alone unless one makes a few assumptions: Vf=final velocity Vi=initial velocity a=acceleration d=displacement t=time assume Vi=0 (Vf-Vi)/t=a Vf=at+Vi Vf**2=Vi**2+2ad (at)**2=2ad aatt=2ad att=2d a=2d/t**2
