How to use

1

Choose what to solve for

Pick acceleration, final speed, initial speed, or time depending on the knowns.

2

Enter the known values

Use consistent SI units (m/s, s). Acceleration uses a = (v − u) / t.

3

Read the result

Check the formula shown with the answer so the known pair matches your intent.
