u in Physics:
- 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
- The initial velocity is .
- The final velocity is denoted by .
- stands for acceleration.
- The time period is denoted by the letter .
From the standpoint of acceleration, the above equation is derived. (It can also be deduced from a graph of velocity and time.)
