Question

hi. how do you calculate acceleration? :)

Answer 1

\[\frac{\text{final speed - initial speed}}{time}\]

Answer 2

or simply speed/time

Answer 3

acceleration is defined as change in speed with respect to time.

Answer 4

saifoo could you answer fakshons question got stuck on it lol please

Answer 5

and what's the initial speed?

Answer 6

initial = start.

Answer 7

Sure @lil. ^_^

Answer 8

or the derivative of velocity w/respect for time if you want instantaneous acceleration

Saifoo's is for average acceleration

Answer 9

average acceleration:\[{\Delta v \over \Delta t}=a_{avg}\]instantaneous acceleration:\[{dv \over dt}=a\] (The triangle in the first formula is the Greek letter delta, and here it means "change in")
