I’m currently learning about motion and forces in physics, and I’m a bit confused about how to calculate acceleration.
 
How to Calculate Acceleration:
Use this formula:
Acceleration = (Final Speed - Initial Speed) ÷ Time


It shows how fast something speeds up or slows down over time.
 
Acceleration is how fast something speeds up or slows down. Use this formula:
Acceleration = (Final Speed - Starting Speed) ÷ Time.
Example: If a car goes from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds:
(60 - 0) ÷ 5 = 12 mph per second.
