What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
