Acceleration to Distance Formula
The following formula can be used to calculate distance from an acceleration.
D = v*t + 1/2*a*t^2
- Where D is the distance
- v is the initial velocity
- a is the acceleration
- t is the time.
To calculate distance from acceleration, multiply the initial velocity by the time, then add this to the result of the time squared times the acceleration divided by 2.
Acceleration to Distance Conversion
The conversion from acceleration to a distance involves multiplying the average acceleration by the time squared. When an initial velocity is included, you must add that component in as well as described by the equation above.
Acceleration to Distance Example
How to calculate distance from acceleration?
- First, determine the initial velocity.
If initially at rest, assume this value to be 0.
- Next, determine the acceleration.
Calculate the average acceleration throughout the time.
- Next, determine the total time.
Calculate the total time of motion.
- Finally, calculate the distance.
Calculate the distance using the equation above.
FAQ
Calculating distance from acceleration is as easy as using this formula: D = v*t + 1/2*a*t^2. Where v is the velocity, t is time, and a is the acceleration.
