Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes with respect to time, or in other words, how much an object is speeding up or slows down. The average acceleration of an object can be found using the formula shown above, where t is the time over which acceleration is being measured, v_f is the final velocity, and v_i is the initial velocity.

a = (v_f - v_i)/ t

What of the following represents t in terms of the other variables?

• t = a / (v_f - v_i)

• t = (v_f - v_i) / a

• t = a(v_f - v_i)

• t = 1/a(v_f - v_i)
