Question by theUndeadEmo · Aug 14, 2013 at 04:36 PM · rigidbodyvelocityformula

Velocity Formula

Lets say we only have the z axis to deal with( 1 dimention)

key variables on Rigidbody

Gravity = off

Drag = 5

Mass = 20

Force = 6600

assume everything else is set to the default settings

what is the formula to work out the velocity?

if possible what would the formula look like with gravity On (not required but curious)

I would expect it to be your normal newtonian physics: f=ma etc. Unless someone knows better, you'll have to consult the computed velocity of the rigidbody, and try to come up with a formula that corresponds to the values you provide.

Unity uses the metric system (at least for scale in the documentation see Use the right size).

Rigidbody.velocity :P

Seriously though, thinking back 15 years, velocity is the integral of acceleration. I dont recommend performing integration in your code.

(a=m/s^2, v=m/s)

Here is a sheet of formulae that will help you, particularly

velocity, v = v0 + at

v0=initial velocity a=accel t=time

Ofc F = Ma or a = F/M

Velocity = Initial velocity + acceleration * time http://www.ajdesigner.com/constantacceleration/cavelocity.php
