time `Deltat = (Deltav)/a`

The Time (Δt) equation, (Δt =ΔV)/a) ,  computes time required to change velocity (ΔV) based on a constant acceleration (a).  

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:

• (ΔV) Change in Velocity.
• (a) Constant Acceleration.

Time (Δt):The calculator returns the time in seconds.   However, this can be automatically converted to other time units via the pull-down menu.

Note: at zero acceleration (a = 0), it requires infinite time to realize the change in velocity.  This is made mathematically obvious because a is in the denominator and would produce a divide by zero condition which always produces infinity.
