How it works
Calculate average acceleration along one axis. Signed velocities must refer to the same positive direction.
a = (v−u)/t

Initial velocity: 0 · Final velocity: 20 · Elapsed time: 5.
- Acceleration
- 4 m/s²
Questions and answers
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
