usually from newton's 2nd law F=ma. Also, speed is the first derivative of displacement vs time, and acceleration is the second

It depends on what information you have or are given. A couple of formulas to consider.
F - Force.
m - mass.
a - acceleration.
u - initial velocity.
v - final velocity.
F = ma
â a = F/m
v = u + at
â v - u = at
â a = (v - u)/ t

use Newton's second law of motion F=ma
where F= force in newtons (N)
m=mass in Kg
a= acceleration in m/s^2

if the velocity of the object is changing, then only we can find acceleration which can be obtained by a=f/m, where f=force and m=mass(newtons second law of motion)

acceleration is net force divided by mass in formula ways it's Fnet/m get got it goooooooood

In laymens terms, if know what speed something is traveling and how long it's been traveling, you take the speed, divided by the time.
Acceleration is usually expressed in feet per second per second
ft/s² or Meters per second per second or M/s²
