Deceleration distance calculator for Space Engine (Game)

A command-line utility to compute the distance needed to decelerate using Torricelli's equation.

Compilation

gcc decel_dist.c -lm -o decel_dist

Usage

Usage: decel_dist [a] <current_velocity> <max_speed> - both the current velocity and max speed are in kilometers

decel_dist 2843 0.1
# Output: Distance needed to decelerate is 40384820.000000 kilometers

decel_dist -a 2843 0.1
# Output: Distance needed to decelerate is 0.269956 AU
