What is the Formula for Acceleration in Physics?

[josher1289]

what is it?

 

[jtbell]

$$\vec a = \frac{d \vec v}{dt}$$

 

[z-component]

Also, if the original poster is just starting out with physics and is not using calculus, I could provide a more basic equation:

$$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$$,

or simply the change in velocity over the change in time.
