Pugh · Answer 1

You find out what the distance is and then divide it by the amount of time it took. You divide a known distance by the length of time it has taken to travel over it, this gives you speed. For instance if you travel 60 miles and it takes 1 hour, you divide 60 by 1, which leaves 60 so your speed is 60 miles per hour.

A = delta v / t

That is, you can calculate the acceleration of an object moving on a straight line by dividing the change in velocity by the time.
