  1. Is Deceleration Really a Forbidden Word in Physics?

    Jan 20, 2007 · The discussion centers on the concept of deceleration in physics, with participants agreeing that it is a misleading term. Deceleration is viewed as a vector quantity that implies negative …

  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 · To calculate the distance a bike will roll after stopping pedaling, use kinematic equations that incorporate deceleration and road grade. The primary equations are: a = (vf - vi)/t for …

  5. 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 …

  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. 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. …

  9. Direction of friction: deceleration and turning - Physics Forums

    Jun 6, 2012 · However, during deceleration, while the car still moves east, the friction vector points west, opposing the forward motion of the tires. This confusion arises from the understanding that friction …

  10. How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Deceleration Distances in a …

    Jan 29, 2006 · The discussion focuses on calculating the acceleration and deceleration distances for a cab ride of 2.00 km. The cab driver accelerates to the speed limit and then decelerates, with the …
