Acceleration Calculator

Acceleration is worked out three ways here: from a change in velocity over a measured time, from the distance covered in that time, and from a net force acting on a mass. Enter the figures in whatever units you have, mixing miles per hour with seconds or pounds-force with kilograms, and the answer comes back in metres per second squared, feet per second squared, km/h per second and multiples of g. Each result shows the working and the converted SI values. The first two forms assume the acceleration held constant, so they give the average over the interval rather than the peak.
