Acceleration

Calculate acceleration based on change in velocity and time. Acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to time used, expressed as a = dv / dt = (v1 - v0) / (t1 - t0).

Acceleration Calculator

Acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to time used and can be expressed as:

a = dv / dt = (v1 - v0) / (t1 - t0)

Where:

a = acceleration (m/s²)
dv = change in velocity (m/s)
v1 = final velocity (m/s)
v0 = initial velocity (m/s)
dt = time taken (s)

Example

If a motorcycle accelerates from 0 km/h to 100 km/h in 3 seconds:

a = ((100 - 0) × 1000/3600) / 3 = 9.26 m/s²
