Acceleration Formula

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It is calculated using the following formula:

Formula:
a = (v - v₀) / t

Where:

  • a = Acceleration (m/s²)
  • v = Final velocity (m/s)
  • v₀ = Initial velocity (m/s)
  • t = Time (s)
Steps

Practical Examples

Example 1 Car Acceleration

A car accelerates from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration.

a = (20 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5 s = 4 m/s²

Example 2 Free Fall

An object falls from rest and reaches a velocity of 9.8 m/s after 1 second. Calculate the acceleration.

a = (9.8 m/s - 0 m/s) / 1 s = 9.8 m/s²
