Method and calculation
Average acceleration is the velocity change divided by elapsed time.
Inputs and settings
Acceleration Calculator accepts Initial velocity (m/s) (signed value); Final velocity (m/s) (signed value); Time (s) (minimum 0.000001).
Worked example
Acceleration Calculator example — Initial velocity (m/s): 0; Final velocity (m/s): 20; Time (s): 5. Computed output: { "metresPerSecondSquared": 4 }
Output and limitations
Acceleration Calculator: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic.

Acceleration Calculator FAQs
Acceleration Calculator applies the following rule to your input: Average acceleration is the velocity change divided by elapsed time. The worked example on this page uses the same processor as the result button.
Acceleration Calculator has these boundaries: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic. Start by checking the initial velocity (m/s) field against the units or format shown.
Acceleration Calculator provides this sample: { "metresPerSecondSquared": 4 }. Use the sample button to reproduce it, then replace the inputs with your own values.
