Use the formula: (a = frac{v_f – v_i}{t})
Identify the initial velocity (v_i)
Identify the final velocity (v_f)
Identify the time (t)
Subtract initial velocity from final velocity
Divide the result by the time
Use (a = frac{F}{m}) if force and mass are given
Identify the net force (F)
Identify the mass (m)
Divide force by mass
Keep units consistent
Express acceleration in (m/s^2)
