High School Can anyone tell me some formulas for acceleration?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers around a high school student's confusion regarding acceleration calculations. The student seeks formulas for acceleration but lacks foundational knowledge in calculus and physics. Forum members emphasize the importance of posting in English and suggest that the student provide specific questions or resources they have encountered. The thread concludes with a recommendation to start a new thread in the Academic Advising forum for more targeted assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics concepts, particularly motion and acceleration.
  • Familiarity with calculus principles, especially derivatives.
  • Ability to communicate effectively in English, as per forum guidelines.
  • Access to educational resources or textbooks on physics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the basic formulas for acceleration, such as \( a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \).
  • Study the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and displacement in kinematics.
  • Learn about the concept of derivatives in calculus to understand how acceleration is derived from velocity.
  • Explore online physics resources or forums for additional support and clarification on specific questions.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for high school students studying physics, educators looking for teaching resources, and anyone seeking to clarify their understanding of acceleration and its calculations.

TL;DR
Can anyone tell me some formulas for acceleration? I will thank him very much
我是一名高中生，对加速度的一些计算感到困惑，请与我分享一些信息

I know this question seems very stupid. I don't know much about the deformation and derivation of calculation formulas. Thank you very much for your reply

Welcome to PF. What learning resources do you have in your school?

Have you studied any calculus yet?

欢迎来到 PF。你的学校有哪些学习资源？

你学过微积分吗？
是的，我学到了一点
 
Looks like no one can help me, ok thanks guys

Please post in English. According to our forum rules, section on language

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/physics-forums-global-guidelines.414380/

"All posts must be in English. Posts in other languages will be deleted. Pay reasonable attention to written English communication standards. This includes the use of proper grammatical structure, punctuation, capitalization, spacing, and spelling. In particular, "I" is capitalized, there's a space after (but not before) a comma, a period, and other punctuation. Multiple exclamation marks are also discouraged. SMS messaging shorthand ("text-message-speak"), such as using "u" for "you", "please" for "please", or "wanna" for "want to" is not acceptable."

We're happy to help you, but you need to help us help you. And you need to make a better effort to translate your responses into English before posting them on PF. As said already, we require posts to be in English.

This thread is closed. You are welcome to start a new thread in the Academic Advising forum with links to your reading so far and you can ask specific questions about that reading. Thank you.
