Acceleration from position
Relationship between acceleration, position and time in the case of a uniformly accelerated or decelerated straight line motion.

Uniformly accelerated linear motion
This tool calculates the equation of a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (ie constant acceleration) involving acceleration, displacement (d) and time (t).
a: Constant acceleration of the object
d: traveled distance between 0 and t
v0: initial speed (at instant 0)
In a uniformly accelerated motion, the rate of change in velocity is constant over time. The equation that connects acceleration, time and position of the moving object is,
`d = 1/2*a*t^2 + v_0*t`
Uniformly linear slowed motion
In that case, the speed of the moving object is slowing down over time with a negative constant rate of variation. This is a deceleration instead of acceleration in the previous case. The above equation is still valid,
`d = 1/2*a*t^2 + v_0*t`
`a < 0`
