Kinematics (SUVAT) Calculator
Solve constant-acceleration motion: enter any three of displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time to get the other two.
Displacement (s)
25 m
- Initial velocity (u)
- 0 m/s
- Final velocity (v)
- 10 m/s
- Acceleration (a)
- 2 m/s²
- Time (t)
- 5 s
Assumes constant acceleration; negative values point the opposite way.
Show the work
Solve for final velocity (v)
v = u + a × t
0 + 2 × 5 = 10 m/s
Solve for displacement (s)
s = u × t + ½ × a × t to the power of 2
0 × 5 + ½ × 2 × 5 to the power of 2 = 25 m
How it works
v = u + at · s = ut + ½at² · v² = u² + 2as · s = ½(u + v)t · s = vt − ½at²
Questions
- How does the kinematics (SUVAT) calculator work?
- v = u + at · s = ut + ½at² · v² = u² + 2as · s = ½(u + v)t · s = vt − ½at².
- What do I need to enter?
- Displacement (s), Initial velocity (u), Final velocity (v), Acceleration (a), Time (t). Optional fields can be left blank.
