Equation of Motion Using Distance

Equations of motion are equations that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of time.

The final speed squared equals the initial speed squared plus twice the acceleration times the distance.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["v", "f"], "Speed"]^2 == 2*QuantityVariable["a", "Acceleration"]*QuantityVariable["d", "Distance"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["v", "i"], "Speed"]^2

symbol description physical quantity
vf final speed "Speed"
a acceleration "Acceleration"
d distance "Distance"
vi initial speed "Speed"
