How is acceleration calculated?

Acceleration is calculated using the following formula:

                                                                           a=Δt÷Δv​

Where:

• $a$ is the acceleration.
• Δv is the change in velocity, which is the final velocity (vf​) minus the initial velocity (vi​):Δv=vf−vi​.
• Δt is the change in time, which is the final time (tf​) minus the initial time (ti​):Δt=tf​−ti​.

In summary:

a=vf​−vi ÷tf​−ti

This formula gives the average acceleration, assuming the velocity change occurs uniformly over the time interval Δt. ​ If the acceleration is not constant, more advanced calculus methods may be needed to calculate it at any given moment.​
