Question

Which word equation is used to calculate the acceleration of an object? A. Subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and multiply the result by the time. B. Subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide the result by the time. C. Add the initial velocity and the final velocity and divide the result by the time. D. Add the initial velocity and the final velocity and multiply the result by the time.

Answer 1

Correct answer is:
B. Subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide the result by the time

In fact, the formula to calculate the acceleration is

`a= (v_f-v_i)/(t)`
where vf is the final velocity, vi the initial velocity, and t the time.
