How to use
- Select target unknown kinematic variable (distance, velocity, acceleration, time).
- Enter known initial values.
- Get clear calculated results with step-by-step physics motion formulas.
Calculation Examples
Find distance: at 60 km/h for 2 hours → 120 km.
Find speed: 100 meters covered in 20 seconds → 5 m/s.
Find acceleration: speed ramps from 0 to 20 m/s in 5 seconds → 4 m/s².
Calculation Methodology
Formulas use classical Newtonian kinematics: s = v₀*t + (a*t²)/2, v = v₀ + a*t, and v² - v₀² = 2*a*s for rectilinear motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which motion types are handled?
Uniform linear motion with constant velocity, and uniformly accelerated linear motion.
What is acceleration?
Acceleration measures the rate of velocity change per unit time, expressed in m/s².
How do you convert km/h to m/s?
Divide speed in kilometers per hour by 3.6 to obtain meters per second.
What does negative acceleration indicate?
Negative acceleration signifies deceleration or braking in the chosen direction of travel.
