Rate of Change in Velocity

The rate of change in velocity, abbreviated as \(v_c\), is the first derivative of velocity, the second derivative of position or the instantaneous change in velocity.  In physics, it is known as acceleration. 

 

Rate of Change in Velocity formula
\( v_c = s\;/\;t \)     (Rate of Change in Velocity) \( s =  v_c  \;  t  \) \( t = s\;/\;v_c \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( v_c \) = Velocity Rate of Change	\(ft\;/\;sec^2\)	\(m\;/\;s^2\)
\( s \) = Displacement	\( ft \)	\( m \)
\( t \) = Velocity Change Time	\( sec \)	\( s \)
