acceleration is calculated through this formula
A = F/m where a is acceleration, F is Force, m is Mass
OR
there is some calculus involved in solving and acceleration question because instead of dealing with velocity over time, you are in fact working with the Change in Velocity over time.
a = Δv/Δt = (vfinal - vinitial) / (tfinal - tinitial)Wrong Answer
velocity divided by time = acceleration

What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
How do you find acceleration with velocity given?
Use the formula Acceleration = (final velosity - initial velocity)/ time.
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 acceleration from velocity?
There are 3 formula 1. Final velocity = starting velocity + (acceleration)(time) 2. Final velocity^2 = starting velocity^2 + 2(acceleration)(distance) 3. Distance = (starting velocity)(time) + 1/2(acceleration)(time^2) Use whichever you can use.
Why the second is squared in acceleration?
it is very simple........... velocity or speed = distance / time. acceleration = velocity / time but, we know that velocity = distance / time so just substitute the equation of velocity in acceleration...... so, finally we get , acceleration = distance/time*time so it is time squared.
