Acceleration From Distance Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Acceleration From Distance.
A = dV^2 / (2*d)
- Where A is the Acceleration From Distance (m/s^2)
- dV is the change in velocity (m/s)
- d is the change in distance (m)
What are the units for Acceleration From Distance?
The most common units for Acceleration From Distance are m/s^2.
How to Calculate Acceleration From Distance?
Example Problem:
The following example problem outlines the steps and information required to calculate the Acceleration From Distance.
First, determine the change in velocity . In this example, the change in velocity is measured to be 50 (m/s).
Next, determine the change in distance. For this problem, the change in distance is calculated to be 100 (m).
Finally, calculate the Acceleration From Distance using the formula above:
A = dV^2 / (2*d)
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation gives us:
A = 50^2 / (2*100) = 12.5 (m/s^2)
