Change in Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the change in velocity is:

\[ \Delta V = a \cdot \Delta T \]

Where:

\( \Delta V \) is the Change in Velocity (m/s)
\( a \) is the Acceleration (m/s²)
\( \Delta T \) is the Change in Time (s)

What is Change in Velocity?

A change in velocity measures the total change in the magnitude of a velocity due to an acceleration. It is a crucial concept in physics for understanding how objects move under various forces.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Acceleration (a): 5 m/s²
Change in Time (ΔT): 10 s

Using the formula to calculate the change in velocity:

\[ \Delta V = 5 \times 10 = 50 \text{ m/s} \]

The change in velocity is 50 m/s.
