Rate of Change in Velocity

 

Rate Change in Velocity formula

vc=st     (Rate of Change in Velocity)

s=vct

t=svc

Symbol English Metric
vc = Velocity Rate of Change ft/sec2  m/s2 
s = Displacement ft m
t = Velocity Change Time sec s

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