Calculating average acceleration is really easy!

You only need two important pieces of information:

1. Your starting speed (called initial velocity, or $v_i$).
2. Your ending speed (called final velocity, or $v_f$).

And, you also need to know how long it took to change from the starting speed to the ending speed (this is called time, or $t$).

Here’s the formula you’ll use:

$$a_{avg} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$$

Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Find Your Initial Velocity ($v_i$): This is your speed at the start.

2. Find Your Final Velocity ($v_f$): This is your speed at the end.

3. Measure the Time ($t$): This tells you how long it took to go from $v_i$ to $v_f$.

Just put those numbers into the formula and you're good to go!

Happy calculating!
