Questions and Answers

What is the formula used to calculate average acceleration?

  • Final velocity / Time taken
  • Final velocity - Initial velocity
  • (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time taken (correct)
  • Initial velocity / Time taken

Average Acceleration Calculation

Average acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken.

Change in Velocity

The difference between the final and initial velocity.

Initial Velocity (m/s)

The velocity of an object at the beginning of the time interval.

Final Velocity (m/s)

The velocity of an object at the end of the time interval.
