How to calculate constant acceleration displacement

This calculator finds displacement under constant acceleration, given initial velocity, acceleration, and time.

How the calculation works

Displacement = (Initial velocity × Time) + (0.5 × Acceleration × Time²).

Example

Starting at 5 m/s, accelerating at 2 m/s² for 4 seconds: (5×4)+(0.5×2×16) = 20+16 = 36 meters.

Frequently asked questions

How is Result calculated?

Result = [Initial velocity] × [Time] + 0.5 × [Acceleration] × [Time] × [Time].

Pro Tips for Constant Acceleration Displacement

  1. This is one of the standard kinematic equations — useful whenever acceleration is constant (not changing) over the time interval.
  2. If initial velocity is zero, the formula simplifies to just 0.5 × acceleration × time².

Common Constant Acceleration Displacement Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying this formula to a situation with non-constant (changing) acceleration, where it doesn't hold.
