Change in Velocity Calculator

What is Change in Velocity?

Change in velocity (ΔV) represents the difference in velocity of an object over a specific time period. It is a fundamental concept in kinematics and is directly related to acceleration.

Formula

The change in velocity is calculated using:

$$\Delta V = a \times \Delta t$$

Where:

• ΔV = Change in Velocity (m/s)
• a = Acceleration (m/s²)
• Δt = Change in Time (s)

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²)
2. Enter the change in time in seconds (s)
3. Click Calculate to get the change in velocity

Example Calculation

If an object experiences an acceleration of 200 m/s² for 8 seconds:

$$\Delta V = 200 \times 8 = 1{,}600 \text{ m/s}$$

The change in velocity is 1,600 m/s.
