Linear Motion Calculator

Calculate final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, or time using v = u + at

Linear Motion Problem Setup

Use v = u + at to solve for final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, or time

Car accelerating from rest at 3 m/s² for 10 seconds

How long to stop from highway speed

Object falling under gravity for 3 seconds

Earth Gravity (-9.81 m/s²)

Linear Motion Formula

First equation of motion for constant acceleration

v = u + at

$v$ = Final velocity

$u$ = Initial velocity

$a$ = Acceleration

$t$ = Time

From the definition of acceleration:

a = \frac{v - u}{t}

Rearranging for final velocity:

v = u + at
