Acceleration, Speed, And Velocity

How do you calculate Acceleration using the Formula

To calculate Average Acceleration over a Specific Time Interval you must 1. Subtract (Initial Velocity Vi from Final Velocity Vf), 2. Subtract (Initial Time Ti from Final Time Tf), And then 3. (Divide Change In Velocity Δv by the Specific Time Interval Δt) or as the standard equation says 1.) Write the equation a = Δv / Δt = (vf - vi)/(tf - ti) 2.) Define the variables Ex: vf = 0 m/s, vi = 22.4 m/s, tf = 2.55 s, ti = 0 s 3.) Solve a = (0 - 22.4)/2.55 = -8.78 meters/second^2

How do you calculate the variables for finding Acceleration so you can find Acceleration using Δv / Δt when you do not already have them

You can find/calculate Change In Velocity (Δv) by subtracting (Vf-Final Velocity) by (Vi-Initial Velocity) or (V2-V1)... (Vf - Vi) finding the time it took for velocity change to occur (Δt) is done by subtracting (Tf-Ending Time) by (Ti-Starting Time) and/or (T2 - T1)... (Tf - Ti) Or in simplest terms possible and in proper physics format Δv = vf - vi Δt = tf - ti PS: Starting time is usually zero seconds.

How do you calculate Acceleration with only the variables of change in velocity the time span in which the change in velocity occurred?

You must calculate the Average Acceleration over a specific period of time by based of its velocity by dividing change in velocity (Δv-Velocity) by the amount of time it took for that change to occur (Δt-Time Interval). Or more simply just: a = Δv / Δt

What is Acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which a body gains, Velocity, Speed and Force depending on it's weight. Or in more physics based terms, the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

What are some alternative ways of finding Velocity, Time, And Acceleration

Find Initial Velocity by doing V1=V2-(a)(Δt) or FAT Find Time Interval by doing ΔV=V0+(a)(t) or VAT Find Final Velocity by doing ΔV=V0+(a)(t) or VAT Find Distance by doing Δx=((V+V1) Divided by 2)/Δt or DVT Find Final Velocity by doing Vf=Vf0+(2)(a)(Δx) or VAX

What is the Acceleration of an object if velocity is constant?

If velocity is constant then Acceleration is zero. Because Acceleration is the rate at which a body's velocity changes. Therefore, 7.4V/0T= 0
