Physics
Acceleration
Calculate average acceleration for constant acceleration.
a = (v - u) / t
Formula Explanation
Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by elapsed time.
Variables Explained
u = Initial velocity; v = Final velocity; t = Time.
Solved Example
Velocity increases from 5 m/s to 25 m/s in 4 seconds.
a = (25 - 5) / 4 = 5 m/s².
