I calculated the acceleration of a vehicle based on the speed, using (Vf-Vi)/t.
If I calculate the Acceleration Force of the vehicle as m*a
what forces are included in this result?
Are friction, gravity and air resistance forces included in the result?

There is no such thing as "acceleration force".

What you really mean is net force.  Net means total, it has nothing to do with cargo nets.

The net force is the vector sum of ALL outside forces acting on the body of interest.  And you really don't know which forces compose this net force unless you know more specifics of the situation.
