This equation tells us how the object’s velocity \(v_x\) varies with time. If \(a_x=0\) so that the object is not accelerating, \(v_x\) at any time \(t\) is the same as the velocity \(v_{0x}\) at \(t = 0\): in \perpher words, the velocity is constant. If \(a_x\) is not zero and the object is accelerating, the term \(a_xt\) in this equation says that the velocity changes with time.
