Acceleration Calculator
Calculate acceleration as the rate of change of velocity over time. Positive = speeding up, negative = slowing down (deceleration).
Acceleration Formula
a = (v₂ - v₁) / t
a = acceleration, v₂ = final velocity, v₁ = initial velocity, t = time. Earth's gravity: 9.8 m/s².
Frequently Asked Questions
What is negative acceleration?
Negative acceleration (deceleration) means slowing down. The object's velocity is decreasing over time.
What is g-force?
1g = 9.8 m/s² (Earth's gravity). Roller coasters can reach 3-6g. Fighter pilots experience up to 9g.
