Answer:

You take the derivative of the velocity equation!

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration basically refers to how the velocity changes over time. To find that, you need to take the derivative of the velocity equation. Comment if you would like me to show you what that looks like. Once you find the derivative you can plug your time value into the equation and get the acceleration at that time!
