Final Velocity Equation:
From: | To: |
The equation v = 2s/t - u calculates the final velocity of an object when acceleration is zero, using displacement, time, and initial velocity. This formula is derived from the basic kinematic equations for motion with constant velocity.
The calculator uses the final velocity equation:
Where:
Explanation: This equation calculates the final velocity when an object moves with constant velocity (zero acceleration) over a given displacement and time period.
Details: Calculating final velocity without acceleration is important in physics problems involving constant motion, helping determine an object's speed at the end of a displacement when acceleration is zero.
Tips: Enter displacement in meters, time in seconds, and initial velocity in m/s. Time must be greater than zero for valid calculation.
Q1: When is this equation applicable?
A: This equation applies only when acceleration is zero (constant velocity motion).
Q2: What are the units for each variable?
A: Displacement (m), time (s), initial velocity (m/s), final velocity (m/s).
Q3: Can this be used for accelerating objects?
A: No, this equation is specifically for zero acceleration scenarios. For accelerating objects, use v = u + at.
Q4: What if time is zero?
A: Time cannot be zero as division by zero is undefined. Enter a positive time value.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact for ideal constant velocity motion scenarios.
