Calculation Repository Update

There have been some great new calculation uploads this week. Many thanks to ExcelCalcs users mstickma, b1akeh, dino & Clyde! One of the files was in response to a 'Repository Request' made in the forum. I have added a couple of 'repository requests' of my own. Is anyone prepared to take them on? (see circular motion and pendulum motion). Is'nt it time you uploaded a calculation?

Motion Calculations.xls

There are four physical quantities associated with motion calculations: position (x); its first derivative, velocity (v); its second derivative, acceleration (a), and of course, time (t). These quantities are related by several familiar equations, which can in turn be expanded by substitution to cover any combination.
