V = v(initial) + acceletation * delta (time)

Good luck!

for a body moving with uniform acceleration, the following equations hold:
v=u+at
S=ut+1/2 at^2
S=(u+v)t/2
v^2-u^2=2aS., where
u=initial velocity, v= final velocity after time t,
a=uniform acceleration,
S= distance covered in time t
which equation to use depends on the question.

Acceleration = Change of Velocity/total time
which = Final Velocity - Initial velocity / total time
: V(f) = V(i) + at V(f)= final vel.
V(i)= initial vel.
a=accleration
t= time
or you could use another equation, but with extra variable:
: V(f)^2 = V(i)^2 +2as s=displacement
or total distance

Actually, the math starts the other way. If accleration is constant (the usual assumption in high school and college freshman physics),
v(t) = a * t + vo
Here, a is accleration, t is time, v(t) is the velocity at time t, and vo is the initial velocity. So if you know a, t and v(t), you can find vo. Likewise, if you know t, v(t) and vo, you can find a.
