Acceleration Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the acceleration of an object using Newton’s second law of motion. Simply input the force applied (F) and the mass of the object (m), and it will compute the acceleration (a). It’s a useful tool for physics students, engineers, and anyone working with motion dynamics.

Acceleration Formula
Where:
- $$a$$ = acceleration ($$m/s²$$)
- $$F$$ = force (Newtons)
- $$m$$ = mass (kilograms)
This formula is derived from Newton’s second law of motion and shows how an object’s acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it and inversely proportional to its mass.
This formula is widely used in classical mechanics to describe motion. For example, if you apply a force of 20 N to an object with a mass of 5 kg, the acceleration will be $$a = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \, m/s²$$. The calculator helps visualize how changes in force or mass affect the resulting acceleration. It’s especially helpful in education, physics simulations, and engineering applications.
