How to Evaluate Rate of Change of Acceleration?

Rate of Change of Acceleration evaluator uses Rate of Change of Acceleration = (Design Speed^3)/(Length of Curve*Radius of Curve) to evaluate the Rate of Change of Acceleration, The Rate of Change of Acceleration formula is defined as the cube of the design speed and dividing it by the product of the length of the curve and the radius of the curve. Rate of Change of Acceleration is denoted by Ca symbol.

How to evaluate Rate of Change of Acceleration using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Rate of Change of Acceleration, enter Design Speed (v), Length of Curve (Ls) & Radius of Curve (R) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Rate of Change of Acceleration

What is the formula to find Rate of Change of Acceleration?
The formula of Rate of Change of Acceleration is expressed as Rate of Change of Acceleration = (Design Speed^3)/(Length of Curve*Radius of Curve). Here is an example- 3.344034 = (5^3)/(7*2.34).
How to calculate Rate of Change of Acceleration?
With Design Speed (v), Length of Curve (Ls) & Radius of Curve (R) we can find Rate of Change of Acceleration using the formula - Rate of Change of Acceleration = (Design Speed^3)/(Length of Curve*Radius of Curve).
What are the other ways to Calculate Rate of Change of Acceleration?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Rate of Change of Acceleration-
  • Rate of Change of Acceleration=(Length of Curve/2)^2*Deviation Angle*Design Speed^3OpenImg
Can the Rate of Change of Acceleration be negative?
No, the Rate of Change of Acceleration, measured in Speed cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Rate of Change of Acceleration?
Rate of Change of Acceleration is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Rate of Change of Acceleration can be measured.
