Formula for acceleration

What is the appropriate formula employed to compute the acceleration? Explain in brief.

Verified

There are many. The most well-known is a = F/m, here F is the total force applied to a mass, m.

Acceleration is as well the change in velocity, Delta-V, divided by change in time, Delta-t. Therefore, a = Δv/Δt. For illustration if an object's velocity changes from 10 meters per second to 20 meters per second in 5 seconds, then its acceleration is (20-10)/5 = 2 meters per second per second or 2 meters per second squared.
