Velocity Calculator
Calculate final velocity and displacement from initial velocity, acceleration, and time, using v = u + at.
Final Velocity & Displacement Kinematics Mathematics
Velocity calculator computes final velocity and displacement from initial velocity, acceleration, and time, using the kinematics equation v = u + at.
Final velocity equals initial velocity plus the product of acceleration and time. Displacement combines the distance from initial velocity with the additional distance from acceleration.

An object starts at rest (0 m/s) and falls under gravity (9.81 m/s²) for 5 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
v = u + at, where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time — this is one of the fundamental kinematics equations for constant acceleration.
Rearrange the formula to a = (v − u) / t — subtract initial velocity from final velocity and divide by the time elapsed.
It's 0 — "dropped from rest" means the object starts with no velocity, only gaining speed due to acceleration (gravity) over time.
