How it works
The formula behind this calculator.
v = u + at; s = ut + ½at²; v² = u² + 2as
- u
- Initial velocity (m/s)
- v
- Final velocity (m/s)
- a
- Acceleration (m/s²)
- t
- Time (s)
- s
- Displacement (m)
SUVAT assumes constant acceleration. Pick the right equation for the unknowns you have. Sign convention matters (positive = up, etc.).
Example: Car brakes at 13 m/s² from 30 m/s → stops in 2.3 s, travels 34.6 m

Tips
- 💡 SUVAT assumes constant acceleration. For free fall on Earth, a = 9.81 m/s² downward.
- 💡 Sign convention matters: positive y is up, negative is down. Stick to one convention per problem.
