F = ma so a = F/m where F is force (in Newtons), m is mass (in kg), and a is acceleration is m/s²

Acceleration is velocity per second.
Also, acceleration is force divided by mass.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Mathematically, this can be expressed as (v2-v1)/(t2-t1) or in Calculus form as dv/dt.

theres many...depends on what other info you have..
but heres one
a = (v-u)/t
where 'a' is the acceleration (m/s/s)
v is the final velocity (m/s)
u is the intial velocity (m/s)
t is the time taken (seconds)

orginial velocity is how fast an object is going when you start recording data(mostly it starts from rest)
final velocity= v
original velocity= vo
acceleration=a
time=t
some equations:
v=vo+at
a=(velocity change)/(time)
y=(vo*t)+(1/2)(accerelation)(time squared)
