About the Acceleration Calculator
Acceleration from the change in velocity over time (a = Δv/t), or solve for Δv or time.
Also known as: acceleration formula, a = dv/dt, change in velocity.

Worked example
Using the values pre-filled in the calculator above:
- Solve for: Acceleration
- Change in velocity = 30 m/s
- Time = 10 s
the calculator returns:
- Acceleration: 3 m/s²
- Change in velocity: 30 m/s
- Time: 10 s
