v2 - u2 = 2as
so that a = (v2 - u2)/2s
where
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
s = distance
a = acceleration

How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
How do you calculate power when given speed acceleration weight and distance?
Power is equal to Force times velocity; P=Fv. You are given the 'speed', which I assume to be velocity. You also have acceleration. In order to find F, you need first to find the mass, which you can calculate from the weight, Fg, by dividing by the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8. You then have the mass. From here, multiply mass times acceleration times the velocity.
How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?
You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
How do you find initial acceleration.?
The initial acceleration of an object can be found by calculating the change in velocity over time. This can be done by dividing the final velocity by the time taken to reach that velocity. The formula for initial acceleration is: initial acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Can calculate average acceleration of an obj ect given change in velocity with respect to time?
Acceleration is the derivative of the velocity expression. If you have an equation for velocity, simply take the derivative of it and you will have an equation for the average acceleration.
How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
How do you find the acceleration if time is not given?
To find the acceleration if the time is not given, you will need to know the velocity and the distance. Then, use this equation: d = vt + (1/2)at2 to solve the problem by plugging in your numbers for the distance and the velocity.
What measurements do you need in order calculate acceleration?
Speed and time. As acceleration is the change in speed over time.However, if you do not have a direct reading of speed, you will need to claculate that also, from distance over time.So all the units are:-Distance = MetresTime. = SecondsSpeed = m/sAcceleration = m/s/s or m/s2
Is it possible to calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
yes...
How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?
You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
How do you calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
More information is needed.
Quadratic equation in real life?
One example... X = 1/2 A t2 + V0 t + X0 Where X is distance, A is acceleration, t is time, V0 is initial velocity, and X0 is initial distance. This allows you to calculate where you would be given a starting position, velocity, and acceleration, after a specified time, such as in an automobile.
How do you find the acceleration and initial velocity given only the distance and time?
If you are only given total distance and total time you cannot. If you are given distance as a function of time, then the first derivative of distance with respect to time, ds/dt, gives the velocity. Evaluate this function at t = 0 for initial velocity. The second derivative, d2s/dt2 gives the acceleration as a function of time.
What does acceleration have to do with velocity?
Velocity is speed in a given direction Acceleration is the rate in which you change velocity.
