Average Acceleration Calculator
Calculates the average acceleration for given values of initial, final velocity and time.
Formula:
Average Acceleration = (Velocity difference) / (Time difference)
= (vf - vi)/(tf - ti)
where,
vi = Initial Velocity,
vf = Final Velocity,
ti = Initial Time,
tf = Final Time
Definition
The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. A we know that velocity is a a vector quantity therefore acceleration is also an vector quantity having both the magnitude and direction.
The SI unit of Acceleration is m/s2.
The average acceleration refers to the rate at which the velocity changes.
The average acceleration is calculated as shown in formula:
(change in velocity) / (elapsed time).
