The position of an accelerating body is a mathematical function expressed as:

  if a is constant.

a is acceleration v is initial velocity t is time s is starting position

It is expressed below in various programming languages

Assembly[edit | edit source]

Intel x86 (32-bit)[edit | edit source]

; eax = a, ebx = v, ecx = t, edx = s
push edx
mul ecx

shr eax,1
add DWORD PTR [esp],eax
mov eax,ebx
mul ecx
add DWORD PTR [esp],eax
pop eax

Intel x86 (32-bit) using the FPU[edit | edit source]

somewhere in the data section:
a dd 0.0 ; m*s^-2
s dd 0.0 ; m
v dd 0.0 ; m*s^-1
t dd 0.0 ; s
half dd 0.5 ; scalar

code:
