5
Note
a = (v−u)/t = (20−0)/4 = 5 m/s²。

At a glance:Acceleration a = (v−u)/t, where u is initial velocity, v is final velocity and t is time. Complements velocity, force (F=ma) and distance.

Formula

a = (v − u) / t.

How to Use

  1. Enter initial velocity u, final velocity v and time t.
  2. The calculator gives the acceleration.

Case Studies

u=0, v=20, t=4 → 5 m/s²

a = (20−0)/4 = 5 m/s².

FAQ

t=0?

Time of 0 is meaningless (division by zero).

Relation to force?

F=ma links force and acceleration.

Applications?

Vehicles, sports, physics.

Precision?

Shown to 4 decimal places.
