Acceleration. Deceleration is a decrease of speed during a given interval of time.
Acceleration has two parts ... its size and its direction.To find the size (magnitude):-- pick a time interval-- measure the speed at the beginning of the interval-- measure the speed at the end of the interval-- subtract the speed at the beginning from the speed at the end-- divide that difference by the length of the time interval-- the result is the magnitude of acceleration during that time interval
Acceleration = (speed at the end of some time interval minus speed at the beginning of the interval)/(length of the time interval)
That is called speed, or - if the direction is also relevant - velocity.
(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.
It is the product (multiplication) of the average speed and the time interval.

The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval.
instantaneous speed
Average velocity is change in position (displacement) divided by the interval.
