Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r(t + \delta t) = r (t) + \delta t v(t) + \frac{1}{2} \delta t^2 a(t)}

$v\left(t+\delta t\right)=v(t)+{\frac {1}{2}}\delta t[a(t)+a(t+\delta t)]$
