Change in Velocity Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Change in Velocity.
ΔV = a * ΔT
- Where ΔV is the change in velocity (m/s)
- a is the acceleration (m/s^2)
- ΔT is the change in time (s)
To calculate the change in velocity, multiply the change in time by the acceleration.
What is a Change in Velocity?
Definition:
A change in velocity measures the total change in the magnitude of a velocity due to an acceleration.
How to Calculate Change in Velocity?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Change in Velocity.
First, determine the acceleration. In this example, the acceleration is found to be 150 m/s^2.
Next, determine the change in time. For this problem, the time is found to be 10 s.
Finally, calculate the Change in Velocity using the formula above:
ΔV = a * ΔT
ΔV = 150*10
ΔV = 1,500 m/s
