Units used to measure acceleration is ms². The general formula for average acceleration can be expressed as. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity meaning something is getting faster or slower.
Divide the change in velocity by the change in time.
Acceleration v Final v Initial t Final t Initial Where v stands for velocity and t stands for time. A av DvDt where delta represents change. A DvDt where Dv is the change in velocity and Dt is the change in time. Calculating acceleration is simple.
