Average Acceleration Calculator


Calculates the average acceleration for given values of initial, final velocity and time.

m/s

m/s

m/s2

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).
