ā 9y agoThe amount of time it would take an object to travel a distance with constant acceleration depends on its initial velocity, according to the equation: d = vit + 0.5at2 Where d is displacement, vi is initial velocity, t is time, and a is acceleration. Note: if the object starts from rest, its initial velocity, logically, is zero.

ā 11y ago-- With the distance the mass moved and the time it took, all you can find
is its average speed during that time.
-- If you had its two different distances at two different times, then you could
find an acceleration.
-- With an acceleration and the mass, you can then find the force on it.

ā 9y agoIf you assume constant acceleration, then, when both initial and final velocity are zero, the velocity is zero all the time, and there is no movement. If the acceleration is variable, you can integrate to find the distance covered; in this case, if the resulting expression is not too complex, you might be able to solve for time.

ā 12y agoTime = distance / average speed
Average speed = 1/2 (initial + final)
You can use the equation: distance = (initial velocity + final velocity) / 2 * time. This formula assumes constant acceleration.
To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you must calculate the change in velocity during a unit of time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, not distance. It is given by the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
In general, nowhere, because acceleration is the second derivative of distance with respect to time. However, in the special case of a constant acceleration, the acceleration will be twice the slope of the line, since distance = 0.5 * time squared.
The formula for speed is speed = distance / time, where speed is measured in m/s or km/h. The formula for acceleration is acceleration = change in velocity / time taken, where acceleration is measured in m/sĀ².
Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)
You can't you need the time and distance (once you have that it's just distance/time).
Distance = (1/2 of acceleration) x (time squared)You can change this around to solve it for acceleration or time.(Time squared) = (distance)/(half of acceleration)Time = the square root of [ (2 x distance)/(acceleration) ]Be careful . . .This is only true if the distance and the speed are both zero when the time begins.
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.
To find free-fall acceleration using only distance and initial speed, you can use the kinematic equation: distance = (1/2) * acceleration * time^2. Since the initial speed affects the time of fall, you would need to know the time of fall or other variables in order to solve for acceleration with just distance and initial speed.
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.
You can use the equation: distance = (initial velocity + final velocity) / 2 * time. This formula assumes constant acceleration.
a = (v2 - u2)/2s where a is the acceleration between the initial point in time and the final point in time, u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity s is the distance travelled
I'm fairly sure that you can't. Not without the acceleration or the time, at least.
To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you must calculate the change in velocity during a unit of time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, not distance. It is given by the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
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.
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
The answer depends on the context: You can find the acceleration if you know any three of : initial velocity, final velocity, time, distance travelled. You can find it if you know the mass and force. You know the two masses and the distance between them (gravitational acceleration).
