SUVAT Dynamics Calculator

This program calculates the unknown data from the 4 basic formulas of dynamics (SUVAT) if you know the values of any 3 of these, you can find the other 2 easily. The program is designed to take inputs in the MKS (Meter, Kilogram, Second) units and provide output in the same.

Information

The program defines unknown data using the 4 basic formulas of dynamics, commonly referred to as 'SUVAT':

• s: Distance traveled
• u: Initial velocity
• v: Final velocity
• a: Acceleration
• t: Time of travel

Instructions

1. Input all data in MKS units (Meter, Kilogram, Second).
2. The program will provide output in MKS units.

Usage

Find Distance Traveled (s)

1. Press s to find the distance traveled.
2. Enter the data you have:
   • 1: Starting velocity, acceleration, and time of travel
   • 2: Starting velocity, ending velocity, and acceleration
   • 3: Starting velocity, ending velocity, and time

Find Initial Velocity (u)

1. Press u to find the starting velocity.
2. Enter the data you have:
   • 1: Distance, acceleration, and time of travel
   • 2: Distance, ending velocity, and time of travel
   • 3: Distance, acceleration, and ending velocity
   • 4: Ending velocity, acceleration, and time of travel

Find Final Velocity (v)

1. Press v to find the ending velocity.
2. Enter the data you have:
   • 1: Distance, starting velocity, and time of travel
   • 2: Distance, starting velocity, and acceleration
   • 3: Starting velocity, acceleration, and time of travel

Find Acceleration (a)

1. Press a to find the acceleration.
2. Enter the data you have:
   • 1: Distance, starting velocity, and time of travel
   • 2: Distance, starting velocity, and ending velocity
   • 3: Starting velocity, ending velocity, and time of travel

Find Time of Travel (t)

1. Press t to find the time of travel.
2. Enter the data you have:
   • 1: Distance, starting velocity, and acceleration
   • 2: Distance, starting velocity, and ending velocity
   • 3: Starting velocity, ending velocity, and acceleration

Example

To find the distance traveled given the starting velocity, acceleration, and time of travel:

1. Press s.
2. Press 1 to select starting velocity, acceleration, and time of travel.
3. Enter the starting velocity, acceleration, and time of travel when prompted.

Note

Please enter valid inputs as prompted by the program. Any invalid entries will result in an "Invalid Entry" message.
