Answer:

Acceleration is given by the formula :

a = (v - u)/t

a is the acceleration , u is the initial velocity , v is the final velocity , t is the time in seconds

Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time

a = (v - u) / t

Where v = final velocity in m/s
u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time in seconds.
a = acceleration in m/s²

A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.
