What is the formula for velocity as a function of time when an object is subject to constant acceleration?

V=Vo + at
V= velocity
Vo= initial velocity
a= acceleration
t= time

Ok, so the acceleration is constant i.e.
a = c
Integrate the equation with respect to time to get an equation for velocity (since acceleration is essentially the temporal rate of change of velocity).
v = ct + V
where V is the initial velocity, and c is the acceleration.

v=u+at is the formula for velocity as a function of time.

Velocity =Distance / Time
Final velocity(v) = (u)t + (1/2)at^2
Average velocity = (Initial Vel. + Final Vel.)/ 2

Yes Arpit is right, but just to clarify, the u he wrote there is the initial velocity, and the V he has is the final velocity.
Vf = Vi + at

1/2at^2 + vt + s = S distance
then derive once for final velocity and derive twice for acceleration..

v = v0t + 1/2 at^2
where v = instantaneous velocity
v0 = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

distance=speed/velocity divided by time

v(t) = a t + v° (v, a, v° are vectors)
