Initial Velocity is the velocity at time interval t = 0 and it is represented by u. It is the velocity at which the motion starts.
They are four initial velocity formulas:
(1) If time, acceleration and final velocity are provided, the initial velocity is articulated as
u = v – at
(2) If final velocity, acceleration, and distance are provided we make use of:
u2 = v2 – 2as
(3) If distance, acceleration and time are provided, the initial velocity is
\begin{array}{l}u = \frac{s}{t}-\frac{1}{2}at\end{array}
Where,
Initial velocity = u,
Final Velocity = v,
time taken = t,
distance travelled or displacement = s,
acceleration = a
(4) If final velocity, distance and time are provided then initial velocity is

Below are some problems based on Initial velocity which may be helpful for you.
\begin{array}{l}u = 2\left (\frac{s}{t} \right )-v\end{array}
