Description

A detailed tutorial on how to calculate an object’s acceleration.  A step by step guide on solving for an object’s acceleration.

Overview

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over the change in time.

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Velocity is measured in meters per second while acceleration is measured by meters per second per second.

\frac{m}{s * s} = \frac{m}{s^2}

Acceleration is also expressed as the derivative of velocity.
