The formula for acceleration is given as a v2 - v1 t2 - t1 where a denotes the acceleration v2 indicates the final velocity v1 represents the initial velocity and t2 - t1 is the time interval between the final and initial velocities. The average acceleration over a time interval Dt is the ratio of change in velocity Dv that takes place over the time interval Dt and the time interval Dt itself. If you measure the velocity by meterssec then the units for v will be meterssecsec.
Formula to calculate average acceleration.
The average acceleration over a time interval Dt is the ratio of change in velocity Dv that takes place over the time interval Dt and the time interval Dt itself. The average acceleration over a time interval Dt is the ratio of change in velocity Dv that takes place over the time interval Dt and the time interval Dt itself. If we have the values of two velocities then average acceleration formula will be applicable. You can also write the acceleration equation like this.
