Final Horizontal Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Final Horizontal Velocity (Vf) is:

\[ Vf = \frac{D}{T} \times 2 - Vi \]

Where:

\( Vf \) is the Final Horizontal Velocity (m/s)
\( D \) is the Distance Traveled (meters)
\( T \) is the Time (seconds)
\( Vi \) is the Initial Horizontal Velocity (m/s)

What is Final Horizontal Velocity?

Final horizontal velocity refers to the speed of an object along a horizontal path after it has experienced acceleration or deceleration. This value is significant in understanding how the object's velocity changes over time due to external forces or other factors. It's a key concept in physics and engineering when analyzing the motion of objects.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Distance Traveled (D): 50 meters
Time (T): 10 seconds
Initial Horizontal Velocity (Vi): 2 m/s

Using the formula to calculate Final Horizontal Velocity:

\[ Vf = \frac{50}{10} \times 2 - 2 = 10 \times 2 - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18 \, \text{m/s} \]

This means that the final horizontal velocity is 18 m/s.
