1). Write down the information you're given, such as position, time, speed, etc.
2). Write down the things you know that describe the general relationships among
positions, speeds, times, and accelerations.
3). Use the quantities you're given, together with the general rules you know, to find
the acceleration.

How do you calculate time with speed and acceleration?
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
Why do you had to calculate acceleration with velocity?
Because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity: it is a measure of how quickly velocity is changing.
What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
How do you calculate measurement uncertainty for acceleration given uncertainty in time?
If the distance is known to perfection, an acceleration is constant, then the absolute error in the calculation of acceleration is 2/t3, where t is the measured time.
How can you find the retardation of a curve in a speed time graph?
Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.
