Calculation Formula

v = u + at

Where:
v = final velocity (m/s)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
t = time (s)

Launch Velocity Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Launch Velocity Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the initial velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
  2. Enter the acceleration applied to the object in meters per second squared (m/s²).
  3. Enter the time duration in seconds (s).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the final velocity.
  5. The result will be displayed in meters per second (m/s).

Working Principle

The calculator uses the basic kinematic equation for linear motion:

v = u + at

Where:
v = final velocity (m/s)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
t = time (s)

Example

Suppose an object is launched with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, experiences an acceleration of 5 m/s² over a period of 4 seconds. The final velocity would be:

v = 10 m/s + (5 m/s² × 4 s) = 10 m/s + 20 m/s = 30 m/s

Applications

This calculator can be used in physics education, sports science, engineering, and other fields where projectile motion or linear motion calculations are required.
