How to make a for loop add results together consecutively?

Hi, very new to Matlab and coding in general, I can't work out how to use a for loop to calculate individual results and add them together one by one as it progresses. I have a set of readings for acceleration at a fixed range of velocities, and my script can calculate the time taken to accelerate from each velocity reading to the next, but I cannot work out how to have my for loop add each time reading as it is calculated in order to plot time against velocity.

Airspeed.Thrust is a set of thrust readings from a separate table.

l = 2.4           %wingspan
m = 0.465+(l*0.1) %mass of aircraft

%calc

a = Airspeed.Thrust./m

%loop

t = 0
for v = 0:16
    t = (1./a)
end

I tried to alter my loop to:

for v = 0:16
    t = t+(1./a)
end

But for some reason this gives a completely different starting value, but produces an identically shaped graph.

No loop is needed assuming your acceleration values are in an array.

v=0:16;
t=1./a;
plot(cumsum(t),v);

Perfect, thank you, that does exactly what I needed
