Formel
Final velocity: v = v₀ + at. Distance: s = v₀t + ½at². Where v₀ is initial velocity, a is acceleration, t is time.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What are the kinematic equations?
The basic kinematic equations for constant acceleration are: v = v₀ + at and s = v₀t + ½at². They relate velocity, distance, acceleration, and time.
Can initial velocity be negative?
Yes. A negative initial velocity means the object starts moving in the opposite direction of the chosen positive axis.
What does negative acceleration mean?
Negative acceleration (deceleration) means the object is slowing down if it moves in the positive direction, or speeding up in the negative direction.
What units should I use?
Use meters per second (m/s) for velocity, meters per second squared (m/s²) for acceleration, and seconds (s) for time.
