Overview
The SUVAT Motion Calculator is an advanced computational tool designed to solve equations of motion under constant acceleration. It accurately computes displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time based on the five fundamental kinematic equations. This tool is essential for physics students, engineers, and researchers dealing with motion analysis.
SUVAT Equations & Variables
SUVAT equations are derived from Newtonian mechanics and apply to motion where acceleration remains uniform. The five key variables are:
- s – Displacement (m)
- u – Initial velocity (m/s)
- v – Final velocity (m/s)
- a – Acceleration (m/s²)
- t – Time (s)
The equations governing uniformly accelerated motion are:
- v=u+atv = u + atv=u+at
- Computes final velocity after time ttt.
- Used when acceleration and initial velocity are known.
- s=ut+12at2s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2s=ut+21at2
- Determines displacement over time.
- Critical for motion trajectory analysis.
- v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2asv2=u2+2as
- Calculates velocity without requiring time.
- Useful for free-fall and impact velocity calculations.
- s=vt−12at2s = vt – \frac{1}{2} at^2s=vt−21at2
- Used when final velocity and time are given.
- s=12(u+v)ts = \frac{1}{2} (u + v) ts=21(u+v)t
- Determines displacement when velocity values are known.
These equations form the foundation of classical mechanics and are extensively used in physics problem-solving, engineering dynamics, and real-world motion modeling.
