Speed via constant acceleration and time¶

If a body is moving with constant acceleration, its speed can be expressed as a linear function of time.

Conditions:

Acceleration is constant, i.e. \(\frac{d a}{d t} = 0.\)

final_speed¶

speed at time.

Symbol:: v
Latex:: \(v\)
Dimension:: velocity

time¶

time at which final_speed is measured.

Symbol:: t
Latex:: \(t\)
Dimension:: time

acceleration¶

Constant acceleration.

Symbol:: a
Latex:: \(a\)
Dimension:: acceleration

initial_speed¶

speed at \(t = 0\).

Symbol:: v_0
Latex:: \(v_{0}\)
Dimension:: velocity

law¶

v = v_0 + a * t

Latex:: \[v = v_{0} + a t\]
