  1. Is Deceleration Really a Forbidden Word in Physics?

    Jan 20, 2007 · Deceleration is viewed as a vector quantity that implies negative acceleration, which can create confusion, especially when switching frames of reference. The consensus is that deceleration …

  2. Kinematics: time for a given acceleration, deceleration and distance ...

    May 9, 2019 · The discussion centers on calculating the minimum time required for a train to travel a fixed distance while accelerating and decelerating, without maintaining a constant speed. The key …

  3. G force and rate of deceleration - Physics Forums

    Oct 30, 2016 · gee i am not worthy of being here with you guys but i must know is an accelerometer's negative output due to the braking of a motor vehicle directly proportional to the the rate of …

  4. How to calculate vehicle deceleration (time to stop)

    May 29, 2005 · Ok here is my question. Take a person riding a bike. If you can calculate their momentum by knowing their total weight and speed, how could you calculate the DISTANCE they …

  5. How do I calculate the average deceleration of a car?

    Jan 12, 2009 · To calculate the average deceleration of a car slowing from 13 m/s to rest over a distance of 640 m, the formula v² = u² + 2as is used. The initial velocity (u) is 13 m/s, the final velocity (v) is 0, …

  6. Finding the distance from deceleration - Physics Forums

    Apr 15, 2010 · Homework Statement A lorry is driving at 96 km h^−1. The driver decelerates to a speed of 48 km h^−1. Given that the deceleration is 2.68 m s^−2 find the distance over which the brakes …

  7. Calculation of force from deceleration? • Physics Forums

    Sep 30, 2011 · The calculations reveal that the force exerted can be approximately 120 million Newtons when considering the correct parameters, including mass and time of deceleration. Participants …

  8. Deceleration and Acceleration: Opposites or One and the Same?

    Jun 18, 2016 · Homework Statement If you decelerate in one direction, are you accelerating in the opposite direction? Ex. You are standing in an elevator and are slowing down, going upwards- are …

  9. SUVAT equation question: When will the car collide with the lorry ...

    Oct 9, 2023 · The key equation derived is that the car collides with the stationary lorry if the deceleration of the car, denoted as a2, is less than or equal to ku2^2, where k is a function of u1, d, and a1. …

  10. Modeling Deceleration of Object Towed in Water - Physics Forums

    Apr 5, 2015 · This discussion focuses on modeling the deceleration of a rectangular object towed in water when the towing force is removed. The drag force acting on the object is defined by the …
