Initial velocity is the velocity an object begins with Final velocity is the velocity at which the object ends up in Say a car is travelling at 13 m/s and then crashes into a wall stopping it it's intitial velocity was 13 m/s and it's final velocity is at 0 m/s or Say a car starts off at 5 m/s but then accelerates from 5 m/s to 10 m/s. It's inital velocity would be 5 m/s but it's resulting or final velocity is 10 m/s

What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
How do you find final Velocity of an object?
The final velocity is (the initial velocity) plus (the acceleration multiplied by the time).
What is the equation for acceleration?
Final Velocity- Initial Velocity Time
How do you find acceleration falling object with only speed and distance?
a = (v2 - u2)/2s where a is the acceleration between the initial point in time and the final point in time, u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity s is the distance travelled
