Enter any three of the five kinematic variables: displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time. Leave the two unknowns empty. The calculator solves the SUVAT equations and shows all five values.
About Displacement (SUVAT)
The SUVAT equations are the five kinematic equations for motion under constant acceleration. They connect displacement (s), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a), and time (t). Given any three, the other two can be calculated. These equations form the foundation of classical mechanics and are essential for analyzing projectile motion, vehicle braking, free fall, and any situation with uniform acceleration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the SUVAT equations?
SUVAT stands for the five kinematic variables: displacement (s), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a), and time (t). The equations relate these variables for constant acceleration motion.
How many values do I need to enter?
You need exactly three known values. The calculator solves for the remaining two using the appropriate SUVAT equation.
Do SUVAT equations work for non-constant acceleration?
No. SUVAT equations assume constant (uniform) acceleration. For varying acceleration, calculus-based methods (integration) are needed.
