a = change in velocity / time is the definition of acceleration. Acceleration is not a constant, it is a different value for each discrete value of change in velocity and time. You need to define what equation you are using which has the constant in it, such as E = MCsquared where C is the constant.

I think you should give the equation and indicate what you're calling a constant.
