Purpose:The constant acceleration calculator solves the equations of motion in one dimension assuming constant acceleration or constant velocity (zero acceleration).

Restrictions on Use: None

General Information:

1. Move the slider bars to change the initial value of the position or velocity, or the constant value of the acceleration.
2. You can display all or any of the position, velocity, or acceleration, and you can choose to scale them from minimum to maximum.
3. You can modify the range of the x axis by changing the time over which the problem is solved.
4. You can change the range of the y axis by changing the maximum and minimum graph values.
5. A numerical solution is shown. You can modify the solution method, and change the time step used in the solution.
