There are several formulae that involve acceleration. The most basic one is the definition of acceleration, which is:

a = (difference in velocity) / time

This assumes constant acceleration. For non-constant acceleration, the more general formula is:

a = dv / dt

where "dv" is the difference in velocity, and "dt" is the time interval, with the additional assumption that it is a very small time interval. For more details, read an introductory calculus book, to understand the concept of "derivative".

There are two primary formulae for acceleration is Physics. The basic form of acceleration can be calculated by diving the change in velocity (meters per second) by the change in time (in seconds). The unit of acceleration is meters per second per second. The second equation of calculating acceleration is diving force (in Newton's) by the objects mass (in kilograms).

Force/mass=acceleration

Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change)

Acceleration = (2 x distance traveled)/(square root of time to travel the distance)

a = F / m Acceleration of a body is equal to (the [vector] sum of the forces acting on the body) divided by (the mass of the body).

Formula constant accleration?

Acceleration with respect to time = a , where 'a' is a constant.


What formula is used to calculate accleration?

Accelaration= change in velocity/time taken OR Acceleration=final velocity- initial velocity/time taken


Disscuss the relationship between velocity and accleration?

accleration is the speed. Velocity is when you know the speed of an object and its direction.


What is one half accleration times time squared?

This is the physics formula for displacement, more commonly called distance. But, it assumes you start at zero speed. The time units cancel out in the formula, so the answer comes out in terms of distance.
