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.
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 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.
What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
How do you find initial acceleration.?
You use the information you're given, along with the equations and formulas you know that relate distance, time, speed, and acceleration, to calculate the number you're asked to find. And here's a tip: Chances are that the initial acceleration, the final acceleration, and the acceleration all along the way, are all the same number.
