What are SUVAT Equations?

The SUVAT equations are a set of equations used to describe the motion of an object under constant acceleration. The acronym SUVAT stands for:

  • S = displacement
  • U = initial velocity
  • V = final velocity
  • A = acceleration
  • T = time

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the known values for the initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a), time (t), or distance (s). You can enter values for any three of these parameters, and the calculator will solve for the remaining values.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the results.
  3. The calculator will display the results for the unknown parameters.

Example

Suppose a car accelerates from rest (u = 0 m/s) with an acceleration of 2 m/s² for 5 seconds. To find the final velocity (v) and the distance traveled (s), you can use the SUVAT equations:

v = u + at

s = ut + ½at²

Substituting the known values:

v = 0 + 2 * 5 = 10 m/s

s = 0 * 5 + ½ * 2 * 5² = 25 m

Using the calculator, you can verify these results by entering the values for u, a, and t, and then clicking the "Calculate" button.
