Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?

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.

How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)
What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
The rate of the velocity of an object?
To calculate the velocity of an object you can use the formula v=d/t. v=velocity, d=distance, and t=time. You can also calculate velocity using a=change in v/change in t, v(final)=v(initial)+at, v(average)=v(final)+v(initial)/2, or v(final)^2=v(initial)^2+2ad, or p=mv.
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
What is the equation to calculate the maximum height of an object given an initial velocity and initial launch height?
height=acceletation(t^2) + velocity(t) + initial height take (T final - T initial) /2 and place it in for time and there you go
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the acceleration of that object the initial velocity and the final velocity and time?
Vf = Vi + at Where Vf = final velocity Vi = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time
What does initial velocity means?
initial velocity is the velocity with which a particle starts its journey.
If final velocity is greater than initial velocity an object is?
Accelerating...or was accelerating.
An object projected up with initial velocity v attains a height h Another object projected up with initial velocity 2v will attain what height?
4h
How can you measure when an object has reached terminal velocity?
the terminal velocity is the total speed that its take an object to reach the point it required from the initial velocity
What is the balloons initial velocity when a water balloon is dropped from the fifth floor of a building?
If you simply release an object, the initial velocity is always zero.
How do you find final Velocity of an object?
The final velocity is (the initial velocity) plus (the acceleration multiplied by the time).
