Calculation Formula

Work (W) = 0.5 * m * (v2 - u2)

Where:
W = Work done (Joules)
m = Mass (kg)
v = Final velocity (m/s)
u = Initial velocity (m/s)

Learn how to use the Work to Acceleration Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the mass of the object in kilograms (kg).
  2. Enter the initial velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
  3. Enter the final velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the work done and acceleration.
  5. The results will be displayed in Joules (J) for work done and meters per second squared (m/s2) for acceleration.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. The formula used is:

W = 0.5 * m * (v2 - u2)

Where:

  • W is the work done (in Joules).
  • m is the mass of the object (in kilograms).
  • v is the final velocity (in meters per second).
  • u is the initial velocity (in meters per second).

The acceleration is then calculated using the formula:

a = (v2 - u2) / 2
