Solution

u in Physics:

  1. The letter u is used in physics to denote the sign of potential energy, as well as the initial velocity and the object distance in ray optics.

In the equation v=u+at,

  1. The initial velocity is u.
  2. The final velocity is denoted by v.
  3. a stands for acceleration.
  4. The time period is denoted by the letter t.

From the standpoint of acceleration, the above equation is derived. (It can also be deduced from a graph of velocity and time.)
