Braking Acceleration Calculator, Formula, Braking Acceleration Calculation

Braking Acceleration Calculator:

Enter the values of Velocity Before Braking V_{(m/s) &} Total Stopping Distance SD_(m)  to determine the value of Braking Acceleration Ab_(m/s²₎ .

Braking Acceleration Formula:

The Braking Acceleration Ab_(m/s²₎ in meter per second square is Equal to the Velocity Before Braking V_(m/s) in meter per second is squared and is Divided by the 2 into Multiply the Total Stopping Distance SD_(m) in meter.

The Formula of Braking Acceleration can be written as,

Ab_(m/s²₎ = V²_(m/s) / ( 2 * SD_(m) )

Here,

Ab_(m/s²₎ = Braking Acceleration in meter per second square

V_(m/s) = Velocity Before Braking in meter per second

SD_(m) = Total Stopping Distance in meter

Braking Acceleration Calculation:

1)Calculate the Braking Acceleration and given for Velocity Before Braking = 180m/s , Total Stopping Distance = 10m.

Answer

Ab = V² / ( 2 * SD )

Ab = 180² / ( 2 * 10 )

Ab = 1620m/s².

2)Calculate the Total Stopping Distance and given for Velocity Before Braking = 180m/s , Braking Acceleration = 1620m/s².

Answer

Ab = V² / ( 2 * SD )

1620 = 180² / ( 2 * SD )

SD = 10m.
