Acceleration Calculator — Change in Velocity
Calculate constant acceleration with a = (v − v0) / t for straight-line motion. Example: v0=0, v=10, t=2 → a=5. Browser-only; educational check of the formula assumptions.
How it works
Enter initial and final velocity and the elapsed time.
Formula
a=(v−v0)/t. Notes:
- Assumes constant acceleration.
- Signs follow your velocity convention.
- Pair with velocity / Ohm tools.
Example
Example: v0=0, v=10, t=2 → a=5.
When to use it
- Physics homework.
- Quick a check.
- Compare with velocity tool.
