Calculating Acceleration From a Velocity-Time Graph 2 | GCSE Physics (9-1) | kayscience.com

The equation that links acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and time is:
acceleration = ( final velocity - initial velocity ) ÷ time

The unit for initial and final velocity is metres / second (m/s)
The unit for acceleration is metres/second 2 (m/s2)
The unit for time is seconds (s)

Final velocity - initial velocity is the same as saying change in velocity.

Acceleration is how quickly an object’s velocity changes.
A positive change in velocity is called acceleration.
A negative change in velocity is called deceleration.

I wasn't understanding acceleration but after watching this video i understand acceleration, can you please make another video

What will be the average acceleration for each of the first two velocity - time graphs?
