Explanation of Calculations
This calculator uses various equations from physics to compute the results:
- Force (F): Computed using Newton’s Second Law, F = m * a.
- Final Velocity (v): Calculated using the kinematic equation v = u + at.
- Work Done (W): Determined using W = F * d, where d is considered as velocity*time for simplicity.
The results will show the computed force in Newtons (N), final velocity in meters per second (m/s), and work done in Joules.
Limitations
This calculator assumes constant mass and acceleration and does not account for friction or air resistance. It simplifies the work done by considering the distance as the product of velocity and time, which may not be accurate for all scenarios.
