Acceleration Calculator

Science & Engineering

Solve a, v, u, t, s with kinematic equations

Quick Answer

Acceleration Calculator: Solve a, v, u, t, s with kinematic equations. v = u + at.

Acceleration

3.473 m/s²

≈ 0.35 g

Distance111.12 m
g-force0.35 g
Δv27.78 m/s

Steps

  1. 1a = (v − u) ÷ t = (27.78 − 0) ÷ 8 = 3.473 m/s²
  2. 2s = ut + ½at² = 111.12 m

Acceleration benchmarks

Scenarioa (m/s²)g
Elevator10.10
Family car 0-1003.50.36
Supercar 0-1009.30.95
F1 car151.53
Emergency brake-8-0.82
Free fall g9.81.00

💡 Uniform acceleration: v = u + at, s = ut + ½at². Humans feel acceleration as g-force: sustained 5g causes blackout, which is why F1 drivers (4-6g in corners) train neck muscles. Negative a = deceleration (braking).

Key Points

  • Acceleration Calculator is a free online science & engineering tool — open and use, no sign-up.
  • All calculations run locally in your browser; your data never leaves the device.
  • Key capability: Solve a, v, u, t, s with kinematic equations.
  • Results come with formulas and reference tables so you can verify every number.

Formula & How It Works

Kinematic equations (constant acceleration)

v = u + at
s = ut + ½at² = (u+v)t/2
v² = u² + 2as
Five quantities (u, v, a, t, s) — know any three, solve the rest

Example: 0→100 km/h (27.8 m/s) in 6 s → a ≈ 4.63 m/s², s ≈ 83.3 m.
