Acceleration Calculator
Acceleration measures how quickly velocity changes over time, and average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by the time taken. This calculator finds the acceleration from an initial velocity, a final velocity and a time interval, and it can also solve for the final velocity or the time when the other quantities are known. Use meters per second for velocity and seconds for time to get acceleration in meters per second squared, the standard SI unit. Acceleration is central to mechanics: it links force and mass through Newton second law and it describes how vehicles speed up, how objects fall, and how motion changes in general. A positive result means speeding up in the chosen direction and a negative result means slowing down. Enter your values and the result appears instantly in your browser.
How to use Acceleration Calculator
- Enter the change in velocity and the time taken.
- Or enter acceleration with one of those values to solve for the other.
- Read the acceleration in meters per second squared.
Frequently asked questions
What formula does this use?
Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by the time taken, written a equals delta v over t.
What units does it expect?
Velocity is in meters per second and time in seconds, giving acceleration in meters per second squared.
Can it solve for velocity change or time?
Yes. Provide acceleration and one other value to find the missing change in velocity or the time.
