Acceleration Calculator
Find acceleration from velocity and time, force and mass, or circular motion radius and speed.
Acceleration from velocity and time
Acceleration calculator intent is broader than one formula: users often need velocity change over time, Newton's second law, or centripetal acceleration for circular motion.
a is average acceleration, v_f final velocity, v_i initial velocity and t elapsed time.
F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.
G-force and signs
The linear mode preserves the sign of acceleration based on your chosen direction. G-force is shown as a magnitude relative to standard gravity.
