Average Acceleration Equation

Reference from the original Physics I textbook.

Average Acceleration Equation

${\vec{a}}_{a v g} = \frac{Δ \vec{v}}{Δ t}$

${\vec{a}}_{a v g} = {Average Acceleration (m/s}^{2})$
$Δ \vec{v} = Change in Velocity (m/s)$
$Δ t = Time (s)$

Acceleration
Acceleration is the vector rate of change of velocity with time. It can change an object’s speed, direction, or both, and it is measured in meters per second squared. For example, a satellite moving at constant speed in a circular orbit accelerates toward the center.
