Speed under Constant Acceleration

The speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position).

The final speed equals the initial speed plus the acceleration times time.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["v", "f"], "Speed"] == QuantityVariable["a", "Acceleration"]*QuantityVariable["t", "Time"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["v", "i"], "Speed"]

symbol description physical quantity
vf final speed "Speed"
a acceleration "Acceleration"
t time "Time"
vi initial speed "Speed"

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Speed under Constant Acceleration"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Speed under Constant Acceleration"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[
 ResourceObject[
  "Speed under Constant Acceleration"], {QuantityVariable[
\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\("v"\), \("f"\)]\),"Speed"] -> 
   Quantity[1, ("Meters")/("Seconds")], QuantityVariable[
\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\("v"\), \("i"\)]\),"Speed"] -> 
   Quantity[0, ("Meters")/("Seconds")]}]
Out[3]=
