Deceleration
how do you calculate the acceleration of a moving object.
To calculate the acceleration of gravity, time (t) an object falling a certain distance (d) and the acceleration of gravity= d/t
To determine the acceleration of an object, you must calculate its change in velocity per unit of time.
Acceleration is "force divided by mass" or "change in velocity with respect to change in time".

Since force is a function of acceleration and an object at rest has zero acceleration, then then net force is zero as well.
velocity
To determine the acceleration of an object, you must calculate its change in velocity per unit of time.
The basic definition of acceleration is (change of velocity) divide by time. Depending on the data you have, you can directly use this basic definition to calculate acceleration.
Gravitational acceleration is always g = 9.8
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
You must calculate the change in velocity during each unit of time.
No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.
