1. The initial velocity (vi) of the object in meters per second (m/s).
2. The final velocity (vf) of the object in m/s.
3. The time (t) it takes for the object to change velocity, in seconds (s).
The formula for calculating acceleration (a) is:
```
a = (vf - vi) / t
```
Where:
- a is acceleration in m/s²
- vf is final velocity in m/s
- vi is initial velocity in m/s
- t is time in seconds
By substituting the values of vi, vf, and t into the formula, you can calculate the acceleration of the object.
