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.

\( v_c \;=\; \dfrac{ s}{t }\) (Rate of Change in Velocity) \( s \;=\; v_c \cdot t \) \( t \;=\; \dfrac{ s}{v_c }\) |

| \( v_c \) = Velocity Rate of Change | \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) | \(m\;/\;s^2\) |
| \( s \) = Displacement | \( ft \) | \( m \) |
| \( t \) = Velocity Change Time | \( sec \) | \( s \) |
