This video tutorial explains how to calculate acceleration, emphasizing the formula A = (VF - VI) / T, where VF is final velocity and VI is initial velocity. It covers three examples: a roller coaster speeding up, a car decelerating to a stop, and solving for final velocity. The tutorial highlights the importance of understanding the sign of acceleration and provides step-by-step calculations for each scenario.
