# so
it would be the lowest add the highest divided by the time?

# right
it starts at 0m/s and goes to 15m/s in 20 with a steady acceleration. how do i work it out?

# change in speed
divided by time.

15/20 = acceleration

# to help you
it's 0.75 m/s/s

# err, long time ago but
v=u+at
so a=(v-u)/t
final velocity- start velocity over time

# er...
If it's a straight line, all you need is the slope of that line. Rise over run. (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m=acceleration

# wouldn't you have to
work out the acceleration for each time segment and find the average of all those results?
