General Kinematics (SUVAT) Equations Solver
General Kinematics (SUVAT) Equations Solver
This is the comprehensive kinematics calculator: instead of picking a specific SUVAT equation, just select which 3 of the 5 motion variables you know, enter their values, and this calculator determines the appropriate equation(s) and solves for the remaining 2 - shown alongside a velocity-time graph.
- Any 3 known SUVAT variables are always enough to solve for the other 2 under constant acceleration - this calculator supports all 10 possible combinations of 3 knowns out of 5 variables.
- The velocity-time graph is a straight line under constant acceleration - its slope is the acceleration, and the area beneath it equals the displacement.
- Square-root solutions always take the positive root - if a combination of inputs describes a physically impossible scenario, this calculator reports no solution rather than guessing.
How do I use a general SUVAT solver?
Select which 3 quantities you already know (from u, v, a, s, t) and enter their values - the calculator automatically finds the right combination of equations to solve for the remaining 2.
If I know u=0, a=5 m/s², and t=4 s, what are v and s?
v = u + at = 20 m/s, and s = ut + ½at² = 40 m.
