Acceleration Calculator (a = Δv / t)
Calculate average linear acceleration from initial velocity, final velocity, and elapsed time with g-force equivalents.
🚀 Acceleration & G-Force Calculator
Calculates rate of change of velocity over time. Formula: a = (v_f - v_i) / t
Calculated Acceleration
7 m/s²
Change in Velocity (Δv)28 m/s
G-Force Equivalent0.714 G
Mathematical Substitutiona = (28 - 0) / 4 = 7 m/s²
What is Acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. An object accelerates whenever it speeds up, slows down (decelerates), or changes direction.
In SI units, acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation
a = (v_f - v_i) / t
Final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time.
Worked Step-by-Step Examples
Example 1
A car accelerates from 0 to 28 m/s (100 km/h) in 4 seconds
Solution: 7 m/s² (≈ 0.71 G)
• (28 - 0) / 4 = 7 m/s²
