4.3 Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object. To determine the acceleration, you use the
formula below. The units for acceleration are meters per second per second or m/s.
(Final velocity - intial velocity)
Acceleration =
time
(vr – vi)
a =
The acceleration formula can be rearranged to solve for other variables such as final velocity (v and
time (t).
V = v + at
(v - v
