You are competing at a high school gymnastics meet. Your floor routine music begins
and you start running in a positive direction into a tumbling pass, starting from rest.
At 2s, your velocity is 4.5m/s. Calculate your acceleration.

Answer
units
Acceleration is the speed which you are increasing by per second. Therefore to find acceleration all you need to do is divide the change in velocity (4.5) by the time (2). Your units than become (m/s)/s or m/s^2.
