About this calculator

Average acceleration is simply the change in velocity divided by the elapsed time, a = Δv/Δt — it tells you how quickly velocity changed on average over an interval, without needing to know what happened moment-to-moment in between.

It's the first calculation any physics student does for motion problems, and it's exactly what's behind everyday numbers like a car's "0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds" spec or a sprinter's acceleration off the blocks — both are average accelerations over a short window, even though the real, instantaneous acceleration varies throughout.
