What's the formula for acceleration? To be specific, acceleration is defined to be the rate of change of the velocity.

Learn what the kinematic equations are and how you can use them to analyze scenarios involving constant acceleration.

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared …

Review the key concepts, equations, and common misconceptions related to acceleration.

Displacement in physics is a vector quantity that measures the change in position of an object over a given time period. Learn how to calculate an object’s displacement as a function of time, constant …

Let's explore what acceleration is and how we calculate it. Created by Mahesh Shenoy.

If an object is dropped, its initial velocity is zero. And, the acceleration of an object equals the slope of its velocity vs. time graph. The acceleration of all free-falling objects near Earth's surface is a constant, …

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for uniform circular motion, including centripetal acceleration and the difference between linear and angular velocity.

Newton's second law tells us how an object's acceleration depends on its mass and the strength of the net force exerted on it. It can be expressed as an equation:
