Here's the formula:
Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)
In simpler terms:
1. Find the difference between the object's final velocity and its initial velocity. This gives you the change in velocity.
2. Divide the change in velocity by the time it took for that change to occur. This will give you the acceleration.
Important Notes:
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. So, a change in velocity can be a change in speed, direction, or both.
* Acceleration is also a vector quantity and its direction is the same as the direction of the change in velocity.
* The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).
