a=Δvta = \frac{\Delta v}{t}

What does the symbol Δ\Delta (delta) mean?

Change

How do you calculate change in velocity (Δv\Delta v)?

vuv - u

Vector

What does negative acceleration mean?

The object is slowing down

What does uniform acceleration mean?

Velocity changes by the same amount in equal time intervals

Which formula applies to uniform acceleration?
