What this calculator does
Acceleration is how quickly velocity changes, e.g. a car’s 0–100 km/h time.
Formula and method
a = (v − u) ÷ t; from rest over distance d: a = 2d ÷ t²
Worked example
Calculated by this tool with its default inputs:
Inputs
- From: Change in velocity over time
- Initial velocity: 0 m/s
- Final velocity: 27.78 m/s
- Time: 3 s
Results
