Newton's Second Law

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

• acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

• acceleration = (final velocity * initial velocity) / time

• acceleration = (final velocity + initial velocity) / time

• acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) * time
