The correct answer is Velocity, time, and acceleration.

The first equation of motion gives the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time.

  • First equation of motion is given as v = u + at
    • Where, v = final velocity
    • u = initial velocity
    • a = acceleration
    • t = time taken
  • The first equation of motion gives the value of velocity acquired by the body at any particular point of time t.
  • The second equation of motion is given as s = ut + ½at2
  • It gives the value of distance (s) traveled by a body at a given time t.
  • Third equation of motion is given as v2 = u2 + 2as
  • This equation gives the velocity of the body in traveling the distance s.
