  1. Is Deceleration Really a Forbidden Word in Physics?

    Jan 20, 2007 · Deceleration is often viewed as a confusing term in physics, as it implies a negative acceleration, which can be misleading. It may be more accurate to define …

  2. G force and rate of deceleration - Physics Forums

    Oct 30, 2016 · An accelerometer's negative output during vehicle braking is related to the rate of deceleration, but not perfectly proportional; higher-quality accelerometers yield more accurate …

  3. Kinematics: time for a given acceleration, deceleration and …

    May 9, 2019 · The problem is identified as ill-posed because fixing distance, acceleration, and deceleration leaves no variables to solve for minimum time. A critical insight is that the …

  4. What is the average deceleration during braking? - Physics Forums

    Sep 21, 2006 · The average deceleration during braking for a vehicle traveling at 80 km/h that stops in 2.8 seconds is calculated to be 7.94 m/s². The initial velocity is converted to 22.22 …

  5. Calculating Car Collision Distance at 30 "g's" • Physics Forums

    Feb 9, 2008 · Surviving a car collision at 30 "g's" is feasible for individuals secured by a seat belt, provided the deceleration does not exceed this limit. To calculate the necessary crumple zone …

  6. Car Crash Physics: Deceleration Calculations

    Jan 31, 2023 · The discussion focuses on the physics of car crashes, particularly the deceleration calculations and the effectiveness of safety features like crumple zones and seatbelts. …

  7. 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 …

  8. Deceleration of a projectile (With air resistance) - Physics Forums

    Jun 8, 2013 · The discussion revolves around modeling the flight of a bullet considering air resistance using a drag force equation. The user seeks guidance on how to apply the drag …

  9. Calculation of force from deceleration? - Physics Forums

    Sep 30, 2011 · The formula for force, F = mass x acceleration, applies, where acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, and deceleration is a specific case of acceleration.

  10. How to find the deceleration of a mass colliding on a spring?

    Jun 2, 2019 · To find the deceleration of a mass colliding with a spring, the kinetic energy of the mass before the collision can be equated to the potential energy of the spring and the kinetic …
