Constant acceleration calculator
Find velocity and displacement in a one-dimensional motion model.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Final velocity = u+at; displacement = ut+at²/2. Assumes constant acceleration along one axis. Signed displacement can differ from total distance if the object reverses direction.
