## Quick Answer

Compute physical acceleration using kinematics (change in velocity over time) or dynamics (applied force and mass). Supports unit conversions and step-by-step formulas.

## Definition

An acceleration calculator computes the rate of change of an object's velocity over time. It supports two main modes: kinematic acceleration using the formula a = (v - v₀)/t, and dynamic acceleration using Newton's Second Law of Motion (a = F/m). It converts inputs between metric and imperial units and displays results in meters per second squared (m/s²), feet per second squared (ft/s²), and g-force.

## How to Use

1. **Select solve method** — Choose either 'From Velocity Change' or 'From Force and Mass'.
2. **Enter inputs** — Input initial/final velocity and time, or force and mass, depending on the chosen method.
3. **Select units** — Choose the units of measurement for each input value.
4. **Read acceleration** — View the computed acceleration in m/s², ft/s², and g-force, along with step-by-step math.
