Best Answer

Dividing change of velocity by the time it takes to change the velocity. If acceleration is not constant, this will give you the average acceleration during the period; to get the instantaneous acceleration, you have to take the derivative of the velocity.

Acceleration


What is the acceleration of?

There is no force of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time. A net force causes acceleration.


What is the acceleration of a 10 kg rock that is pulled with a net force of 80N?

Force=mass*acceleration 80N=10kg*acceleration 80N/10kg=acceleration 8m/s2=acceleration The acceleration is 8m/s2.

Explain how a football and a soccerball can have different accelerations if pushed by the same force?

Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.
