A must for advanced Physics, Math and Engineering.It's a great calculator for engineering and math based problems, but if you are used to the TI-84 calculators used in high schools, it will be a struggle adjusting to it because all of the buttons are in different places, so.

This calculator will find the missing variable in the physics equation for Kinetic Energy of a rigid body, when two of the variables are known.
Where:
- KE = kinetic energy
- m = mass of a body
- v = velocity of a body
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy is the energy an object has owing to its motion. In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.
We use Joules, kilograms, and meters per second as our defaults, although any appropriate units for mass (grams, ounces, etc.) or velocity (miles per hour, millimeters per second, etc.) could certainly be used as well - the calculation is the same regardless.

Calculator Use
The Uniformly Accelerated Motion calculator uses the equations of motion to solve motion calculations involving constant acceleration in one dimension, a straight line. It can solve for the initial velocity u, final velocity v, displacement s, acceleration a, and time t.
Choose a calculation to find the variables that are unknown and enter the variables that are given in your problem. This calculator will calculate the unknown values and provide the derived equations that were used to find the solution. Solution equations are derived from the uniformly accelerated motion equations below.
Note that when solving for multiple variables there is usually more than one way to solve for your unknowns. You can derive more than one set of equations to solve your problem in different ways.
Uniformly Accelerated Motion Equations
Where:
- u = initial velocity
- v = final velocity
- a = acceleration
- s = displacement
- t = time
Use standard gravity, a = 9.80665 m/s2, for equations involving the Earth's gravitational force as the acceleration rate of an object.
Equations 1 through 4 are the key equations used to solve for variables in this calculator however you will sometimes see a different number of Uniformly Accelerated Motion Equations depending on the resource. You will find that equation 1 comes from substituting equation 1b into equation 1a below.
