Kinematic Calculator is a free online tool that shows the object's displacement. The kinematic calculator tool speeds up calculations and displays an object's motion in a fraction of a second.

What is Kinematics?

Kinematics is a field of classical mechanics concerned with the study of an object's motion. It is the study of motion without considering the force that creates the motion. Kinematics is the study of an object's motion, which includes speed or velocity, distance or displacement, and acceleration, all of which change with time.

The Kinematics Equations are a set of three equations that are used to calculate motion in a straight line with constant. The formula for calculating an object's displacement is as follows:

Displacement = ut + (at2)/2

s=ut+12at2

v2=u2+2as

  • Here, u is an initial Velocity (m/s)
  • v is the final Velocity (m/s)
  • t be the time taken (sec)
  • a is the acceleration (m/s2)
  • s is the displacement (m)

What is the Kinematics Calculator and How to use it?

The following is how to use the kinematics calculator:

  • In the input field, enter the initial and ultimate velocity, acceleration, and time.
  • To get the displacement value, click the calculate button.
  • Finally, in the output field, the object's displacement or motion will be displayed.

Kinematics Examples

Question 1: A particle with a velocity of 5 m/s reached a velocity of 15 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate the acceleration and displacement.

Solution:

Consider the problem

We have the inputs are,

Initial Velocity, u = 5m/s

Final Velocity, v=15 m/s

Time taken, t= 4 sec

Acceleration, a=?

Displacement, s=?

The formula for finding the acceleration is a = v−u/t

a = (15−5)/5= m/s2

a = 10/5

a = 2 m/s2

To find the displacement: s=ut+(1/2)at2

s = 5×4+(1/2)×2×(4)2

s = 52m

Therefore,the displacement is 52m

FAQs on Kinematics Calculator

1. In kinematics, how can I find average acceleration?

A moving objects acceleration is the rate at which its velocity changes. Simply dividing an objects velocity by the time, it takes to travel gives the objects acceleration.


2. What is the point of using a kinematics calculator?

The online kinematics calculator assists in the solution of uniform acceleration problems by using kinematics equations.


3. What do you mean kinematic?

Kinematics is a field of classical mechanics concerned with the study of an object's motion. It is the study of motion without considering the force that creates the motion.


4. What is the formula for finding the displacement?

The formula for calculating an object's displacement is as follows:

Displacement = ut + (at2)/2
