What is the formula for acceleration?

a = (vf - vi) / t — change in velocity divided by time. If initial velocity is 0 and final is 60 m/s over 10 seconds, acceleration = 6 m/s².

What is 0 to 60 mph in m/s²?

0 to 60 mph is 0 to 26.82 m/s. If a car does this in 5 seconds, acceleration = 26.82/5 = 5.36 m/s² (about 0.55g).

Acceleration Calculator

Quick answer: Enter initial velocity, final velocity, and time to calculate acceleration and distance traveled.

Calculate acceleration (a = Δv/t) from initial velocity, final velocity, and time elapsed. Also computes the distance traveled during the acceleration using kinematics equations.
