Description from the creator

Bald Guy Sci covers a quick tutorial on the definition of acceleration and how to calculate it mathematically. Acceleration is the concept of changing velocity. It is a vector quantity meaning it has magnitude and direction. Any unbalanced force, or net force, can c cause a change in motion or acceleration. That acceleration is usually discussed in terms of an increase in velocity, a decrease in velocity and/or a change in direction. To calculate acceleration we simply need the change in the velocity and the time it took to make the change.

Vf - velocity final (or ending)
Vi - velocity initial (or starting)
t - time (in seconds)
a - acceleration measured in m/s/s or meters per seconds squared
