It is clear from these equations that there are seven possible unknowns in a given problem involving motion between two points with constant acceleration:

  1. initial time ( ti )
  2. final time ( tf )
  3. initial position ( xi )
  4. final position ( xf )
  5. initial velocity ( vi )
  6. final velocity ( vf )
  7. acceleration (constant) a
Note

Remember that you will usually have the freedom to define the initial time and the initial position by setting up a coordinate system.
