Position to Acceleration Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Position to Acceleration (A) is:

\[ A = \frac{dV^2}{2 \times (p2 - p1)} \]

Where:

\( A \) is the position to acceleration (m/s²).
\( dV \) is the change in velocity (m/s).
\( p1 \) is the initial position (m).
\( p2 \) is the final position (m).

What is Position to Acceleration?

Position to acceleration refers to the calculation of acceleration based on the change in velocity and the difference in positions. It is commonly measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Change in Velocity (dV): 10 m/s
Initial Position (p1): 0 m
Final Position (p2): 20 m

Using the formula to calculate the Position to Acceleration:

\[ A = \frac{10^2}{2 \times (20 - 0)} = \frac{100}{40} = 2.5 \text{ m/s²} \]

This means that the position to acceleration for this example is 2.5 m/s².
