Determining Deceleration Using Speed Difference and Distance

Convert the initial and final speeds to units that will be useful for calculating the Acceleration (meters per second). 

Next, square the initial and final speeds.

Subtract these squares obtained in the previous step as: square of the final speed minus the square of the initial speed.

Divide by two times the distance. This is the average Deceleration rate.
