1. What is 0-100 Time?

The 0-100 km/h time is a common performance metric for vehicles that measures how quickly they can accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the basic physics formula:

Where:

• \( \Delta v \) — Change in velocity (100 km/h by default)
• \( a \) — Acceleration in m/s²
• \( Time \) — Result in seconds

Explanation: The time is calculated by dividing the speed change (converted to m/s) by the constant acceleration.

3. Importance of Acceleration Time

Details: 0-100 km/h time is a standard performance indicator for vehicles, helping compare acceleration capabilities between different models.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the speed change (typically 100 km/h) and the vehicle's acceleration in m/s². For reference, average car acceleration is about 3 m/s², while sports cars can exceed 6 m/s².

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good 0-100 km/h time?
A: Average family cars: 8-12 seconds. Sports cars: 4-7 seconds. Supercars: under 4 seconds.

Q2: Why use m/s² for acceleration?
A: m/s² is the SI unit for acceleration, making calculations consistent with physics formulas.

Q3: Does this account for real-world factors?
A: No, this is a theoretical calculation assuming constant acceleration. Real-world times are affected by traction, gear changes, etc.

Q4: How can I find my car's acceleration?
A: Check manufacturer specifications or divide the speed change by the time (a = Δv/t).

Q5: Can I calculate other speed ranges?
A: Yes, simply change the speed change value to any desired range (e.g., 0-60 mph).
