Answer: Disagree.

Acceleration is not calculated from position and time. It is calculated from velocity and time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is calculated from velocity and time, not position and time. Acceleration is defined as the rate at which velocity changes, and it is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

The formula for average acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time over which the change occurs. So, while position and time are related to velocity, acceleration is not directly calculated from them.
