Assuming constant acceleration:

distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared

Where v(0) is the initial velocity.

How do you calculate acceleration from distance and time?

Acceleration= Distance/time (distance divided by time) That's the dumbest answer I've ever heard.. Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity/Time Velocity = Displacement/Time So you can't calculate acceleration from distance and time, you can only do velocity.


When the body starts from rest and attain velocity v in time t with a constant acceleration the distance traveled by the body is?

d = 1/2 a t2 where d is distance traveled a is the constant acceleration t is the time You can calculate the value of "a" by dividing "v" by "t".


If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?

no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared


Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?

No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.


How do you calculate acceleration when given velocity and distance?

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


How do you calculate acceleration from velocity?

There are 3 formula 1. Final velocity = starting velocity + (acceleration)(time) 2. Final velocity^2 = starting velocity^2 + 2(acceleration)(distance) 3. Distance = (starting velocity)(time) + 1/2(acceleration)(time^2) Use whichever you can use.


If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?

Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)


What is the formula for speed and acceleration?

formula for speed is distance traveled over time taken to cover distance acceleration is given by change in velocity per unit time


How do you calculate distance traveled with force mass and time?

Time, velocity and mass do not provide enough information. If you are given a time interval, t, then you need the velocity at the start of the interval (= u) and at its end (v). Then F = m*(v - u)/t


Formula for distance traveled?

There is not enough information to answer the question. The answer depends onis the object travelling at constant velocity?is the acceleration constant?If it is an object travelling with constant acceleration, which three of the following four variables are knows: initaial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time.


What is the acceleration if a car goes from 0-60 miles an hour?

60


To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line you must calculate the charge in distance during unit of time?

You calculate the charge in velocity, not in distance.
