What is the equation to solve for average acceleration?

AnswerAcceleration = v2 - v1.........................timeAverage Acceleration requires you to average the the initial velocity of your trials and the ending velocity of your trials. You must also find the average for your time trials. Once you achieve these numbers, just plug them into the above formula and you can solve for average acceleration.


An eagle accelerates from 15 meters per second to 22 meters per second in 4 seconds. What is the eagle's average acceleration?

Average acceleration is the amount of acceleration per unit of time that a thing or an object undergoes. It is simple to discover. To find the average acceleration, we need only find out how much acceleration occurred and over what period of time. If we have the starting and the ending speeds, then by subtracting them we can find the chane of acceleration. Then we can divide that acceleration by the time it took to occur. The eagle in our example accelerates from 15 m/s to 22 m/s over a period of 4 seconds. His total acceleration was 7 m/s (22 m/s minus 15 m/s = 7 m/s), and, since it took 4 seconds to increase his speed by 7 m/s, the average acceleration is the total acceleration divided by the time it took to happen (as was stated). The average acceleration is 7 m/s divided by 4 seconds or 1.75 meters per second.


How do you calculate time with speed and acceleration?

Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration


How do you find distance given acceleration and speed?

acceleration times speed


How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?

You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
