A body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration. Derive the equation: v = u + at.
Explanation
The equation v = u + at is derived from the definition of uniform acceleration. Here, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity (which is 0 in this case since the body starts from rest), a is the uniform acceleration, and t is the time. Since the body starts from rest, the initial velocity u is 0, and the equation simplifies to v = at.
