vf2 = vi2 + 2ad, where vf is final velocity, vi is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and d is displacement. Solve for a.
vf2 = vi2 + 2ad
vf2 - vi2 = 2ad
(vf2 - vi2)/2d = a

How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
Is Acceleration is the magnitude of average velocity?
No. Acceleration is (change of velocity) divided by (time interval in which it changed). If velocity doesn't change, then there is no acceleration.
How do you calculate the acceleration of gravity?
To calculate the acceleration of gravity, time (t) an object falling a certain distance (d) and the acceleration of gravity= d/t
Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?
Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.
What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?
it measures the magnitude of acceleration, but it can't tell you the direction of the acceleration.
What is magnitude of acceleration?
magnitude of acceleration=change of velocity/time invertal
How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
Is The slope on a position-time graph is representative of the acceleration of the object?
No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.
How do you find time without acceleration?
Time can be measured with clocks. If you want to calculate the time, please clarify what your data is - in other words, based on what information you want to calculate the time.
What does slope represnt in a velocity and time graph?
magnitude of acceleration (change in magnitude of velocity over time)
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
What does slope of velocity time graph represents?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
What does the slope of velocity -time graph represent?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
What does the slope of a velocity time graph indicate?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
What does slope of velocity-time graph represent?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
The slope of a speed vs time graph is equal to what?
Acceleration.
Is Acceleration is the magnitude of average velocity?
No. Acceleration is (change of velocity) divided by (time interval in which it changed). If velocity doesn't change, then there is no acceleration.
