Category: Deceleration Formula

Convert the initial and final speeds to units that will be useful for calculating the Acceleration (meters per second).  Next, square the initial and final speeds. Subtract these squares obtained in the previous step as: square of the final speed minus the square of the initial speed. Divide by two times the distance. This is…

This is quite simple. First subtract the ending speed from the starting speed. Convert the speed difference to units of speed that are compatible with the Acceleration to be calculated, usually metre per second. If the speed is in miles per hour, convert that speed to metres per second by multiplying kilometers per hour by…

Deceleration is a very commonly occurring phenomenon in our daily lives. Anytime we are travelling, we may notice in the vehicle that when we feel moving forward relative to the vehicle, then we are experiencing Deceleration (a slow down of our Velocity). Here, Deceleration is to be considered as a special case of Acceleration whereby…
