Equation for this Calculation:

x = v0t + ½at2

Where:
x = displacement
v0 = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Formula for displacement as a function of velocity, acceleration and time.

  • x = v0t + ½at2
    • x = displacement
    • v0 = initial velocity
    • a = acceleration
    • t = time

Displacement calculations used in calculator:

Solving for the different variables we can use the following formulas:

  • Given v0, t and a calculate x
    Given initial velocity, time and acceleration calculate the displacement.
    • x = v0t + ½at2
  • Given x, t and a calculate v0
    Given displacement, time and acceleration calculate the final velocity.
    • v0 = x/t - ½at
  • Given a, v0 and x calculate t
    Given acceleration, initial velocity and displacement calculate the time.
    • ½at2 + v0t - x = 0
  • Given x, t and v0 calculate a
    Given displacement, time and initial velocity calculate the acceleration.
    • a = 2x/t2 - 2v0/t
