  1. Is Deceleration Really a Forbidden Word in Physics?

    Jan 20, 2007 · Since if deceleration is a vector quantity, it would be very confusing since deceleration sort of implies the "negative" of acceleration. In that case, deceleration can simply …

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

    May 29, 2005 · To calculate the distance a person riding a bike will roll if they stop pedaling and apply no force, we can use the equation for deceleration: a = (vf - vi)/t, where a is the …

  3. Maximum Deceleration of a Bicycle - Physics Forums

    Nov 18, 2013 · Homework Statement I'm only trying to answer the maximum deceleration possible question, not the rest. Homework Equations Not really sure which equations are …

  4. Drag force = Mass * deacceleration? - Physics Forums

    Oct 21, 2011 · For the motion of a spherical ball under water, can its drag force be calculated by knowing only its mass and deceleration?

  5. Calculating Deceleration Forces: Is It Easier to Use g's or Mass?

    Apr 11, 2010 · Deceleration = 11.8ft/s² 11.8ft/s² (deceleration) x 4.6875 (mass)= 55.31 pounds of force.If this is correct than you have done a fantastic job for me AL and it is much appreciated.

  6. 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 …

  7. Calculating Deceleration in a Car Crash - Physics Forums

    Sep 17, 2006 · I'd appreciate some help with this physics problem: A car is traveling 10 km/hr and crashes into a tree. The driver is thrown 1 m forward. What is his average deceleration? …

  8. Calculation of force from deceleration? - Physics Forums

    Sep 30, 2011 · To a physicist -- and in the "mass x acceleration" formula you wrote -- acceleration refers to any rate of change in velocity. Deceleration is just a special case of acceleration, …

  9. Deceleration and reaction time physics problem

    Feb 9, 2009 · Homework Statement You're driving down the highway late one night at 16 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 39 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on …

  10. How much deceleration is reasonable for a free fall impact?

    Jul 17, 2020 · After a free fall from a height followed by deceleration over a distance during an impact, the shock on an object is · ɡ0. For example, a stiff and compact object dropped from 1 …
