# Kinematics (SUVAT) calculator > Kinematics calculator for the SUVAT equations: enter three of displacement, initial and final velocity, acceleration and time to get the other two. ஊடாடும் பதிப்பு: https://www.calcopenly.com/ta/science/kinematics-calculator பாடப்பிரிவு: அறிவியல் கணிப்பான்கள் Motion with constant acceleration is described by five quantities: displacement s, initial velocity u, final velocity v, acceleration a and time t. Each of the five SUVAT equations leaves one of them out, so any three known values fix the other two. When time is unknown, s = ut + ½at² is a quadratic and can have two valid roots. Physics students use it for braking, free-fall and launch problems. With the defaults, an object starting from rest and accelerating at 2 m/s² for 10 s reaches 20 m/s and covers 100 m. A ball thrown straight up at 20 m/s passes 15 m twice, at 0.99 s and 3.09 s, and both times are listed. Acceleration must stay constant and the motion must lie along one line. Values are signed: choose a positive direction and give opposing quantities a minus sign, so free fall with up as positive uses a = −9.80665 m/s². ## உள்ளீடுகள் - **Find** (விருப்பங்கள்: s and v (know u, a, t), v and t (know s, u, a), s and t (know u, v, a), s and a (know u, v, t), v and a (know s, u, t), a and t (know s, u, v), u and a (know s, v, t), u and t (know s, v, a), u and v (know s, a, t), s and u (know v, a, t)) - **Displacement s**: Signed: negative means behind the start point - **Initial velocity u** - **Final velocity v** - **Acceleration a**: Use −9.80665 m/s² for free fall with up as positive - **Time t** ## முடிவுகள் - Final velocity v (m/s) — முதன்மை முடிவு - Displacement s (m) - Initial velocity u (m/s) - Acceleration a (m/s²) - Time t (s) - Second time (other root) (s) - Final velocity at the second time (m/s) - Initial velocity for the second time (m/s) ## சூத்திரம் $$ v = u + at,\quad s = ut + \tfrac12at^2,\quad v^2 = u^2 + 2as,\quad s = \tfrac12(u+v)t,\quad s = vt - \tfrac12at^2 $$ ## தீர்க்கப்பட்ட எடுத்துக்காட்டுகள் ### From rest at 3 m/s² for 8 s - Find: s and v (know u, a, t) - Initial velocity u: 0 m/s - Acceleration a: 3 m/s² - Time t: 8 s - **Final velocity v: 24 m/s** - **Displacement s: 96 m** - சரிபார்ப்பின் மூலம்: Python 3.8 decimal: v = 0 + 3·8 = 24; s = ½·3·8² = 96 ### Ball thrown up at 20 m/s passes 15 m twice - Find: v and t (know s, u, a) - Displacement s: 15 m - Initial velocity u: 20 m/s - Acceleration a: -9.81 m/s² - **Time t: 0.990719 s** - **Second time (other root): 3.08675 s** - **Final velocity v: 10.2811 m/s** - **Final velocity at the second time: -10.2811 m/s** - சரிபார்ப்பின் மூலம்: Python 3.8 decimal: t = (20 ∓ √(400 − 2·9.81·15))/9.81 = 0.9907186…, 3.0867534…; v = 20 − 9.81t = ±10.2810505… ### Car braking from 10 m/s to rest in 50 m - Find: a and t (know s, u, v) - Displacement s: 50 m - Initial velocity u: 10 m/s - Final velocity v: 0 m/s - **Time t: 10 s** - **Acceleration a: -1 m/s²** - சரிபார்ப்பின் மூலம்: Python 3.8 decimal: t = 2s/(u+v) = 10; a = (0 − 100)/(2·50) = −1 ### Zero acceleration (uniform motion) - Find: v and t (know s, u, a) - Displacement s: 100 m - Initial velocity u: 5 m/s - Acceleration a: 0 m/s² - **Time t: 20 s** - **Final velocity v: 5 m/s** - சரிபார்ப்பின் மூலம்: Python 3.8 decimal: t = s/u = 20 (linear case of ½at² + ut − s = 0) ### Launch speed to rise 20 m under gravity - Find: u and t (know s, v, a) - Displacement s: 20 m - Final velocity v: 0 m/s - Acceleration a: -9.81 m/s² - **Initial velocity u: 19.8091 m/s** - **Time t: 2.01928 s** - சரிபார்ப்பின் மூலம்: Python 3.8 decimal: u = √(0 + 2·9.81·20) = 19.80909…; t = u/9.81 ### Speed from km/h and distance - Find: s and t (know u, v, a) - Initial velocity u: 36 km/h - Final velocity v: 72 km/h - Acceleration a: 2 m/s² - **Time t: 5 s** - **Displacement s: 75 m** - சரிபார்ப்பின் மூலம்: Python 3.8 decimal: 10 → 20 m/s at 2 m/s²: t = 5 s, s = (400 − 100)/4 = 75 m ## கேள்விகள் ### What does SUVAT stand for? SUVAT names the five quantities in the constant-acceleration equations: s for displacement, u for initial velocity, v for final velocity, a for acceleration and t for time. The equations are v = u + at, s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as, s = ½(u + v)t and s = vt − ½at². Each omits a different variable, so you pick the one that leaves out the quantity you neither know nor need. ### When can you use the SUVAT equations? Only when acceleration is constant and the motion is in a straight line. Free fall near the Earth's surface qualifies while air resistance is small; standard gravity is 9.80665 m/s², the value adopted by the 3rd General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1901. A skydiver nearing terminal velocity, or a car whose acceleration fades as it gains speed, needs calculus or a numerical model instead. ### How do you calculate stopping distance with SUVAT? Set the final velocity to zero in v² = u² + 2as, which gives s = u² ÷ (2 × deceleration). A car braking from 10 m/s (36 km/h) at 1 m/s² stops in 50 m after 10 s. Doubling the starting speed quadruples the braking distance. The distance covered during the driver's reaction time comes on top and is uniform motion, s = ut. ### Why are there two answers for time? When time is the unknown, s = ut + ½at² is a quadratic in t and can have two positive roots. A ball thrown upward at 20 m/s with a = −9.81 m/s² is 15 m above the start at 0.99 s on the way up and again at 3.09 s on the way down, moving at 10.28 m/s each time but in opposite directions. Negative roots are dropped because time starts at zero. ### What value of g should I use? Use 9.80665 m/s², the defined standard gravity, unless the problem states another value; many textbooks round it to 9.81 or 9.8 m/s². Real sea-level gravity varies with latitude, from about 9.780 m/s² at the equator to 9.832 m/s² at the poles in the WGS 84 model. That spread changes answers by about 0.5%. ### “Kinematics (SUVAT) calculator” எவ்வளவு துல்லியமானது? துல்லியம் உங்கள் உள்ளீடுகளையும் முறையின் அனுமானங்களையும் சார்ந்தது. தசமக் கணக்கீடு 50 முக்கிய இலக்கங்களைப் பயன்படுத்துகிறது. ஆனால் மதிப்பீடுகள், எண் முறைகள், மூலத் தரவுகள் குறைந்த துல்லியத்தைக் கொண்டிருக்கலாம்; காட்டப்படும் மதிப்பை வட்டமிடுவது இந்த வரம்புகளை நீக்காது. சுயாதீன மூலங்களின் தீர்வுகளுடன் சரிபார்க்கப்பட்ட எடுத்துக்காட்டுகள்: 6. எடுத்துக்காட்டாக, “From rest at 3 m/s² for 8 s” என்பது Python 3.8 decimal: v = 0 + 3·8 = 24; s = ½·3·8² = 96 உடன் சரிபார்க்கப்படுகிறது. ### இந்த முறையின் மூலம் என்ன?
