Drag the two dots to set the starting velocity, the final velocity and the time. The gradient of the line is the acceleration: change in velocity divided by time. Tune the line until its gradient matches the target, then run the car and watch it accelerate along exactly that line.
MissionShape the line to a gradient of 2.5 m/s squared, then run.Round 1Streak 0Best 0
This line shows the car:
start velocity u4.0 m/s
final velocity v20.0 m/s
time t8.0 s
acceleration a = (v − u) ÷ t2.00 m/s²
the v ÷ t shortcut2.50 m/s²
a = (20.0 − 4.0) ÷ 8.0 = 2.00 m/s². The shortcut v ÷ t only works when u = 0.
