How Acceleration Calculator works

Average acceleration = (final velocity − initial velocity) / time.

Elapsed time must be positive. This reports a signed average over the interval, not instantaneous acceleration. Finite real numbers only. Display uses up to 12 significant digits; binary floating-point arithmetic can introduce rounding.
