Acceleration using force and mass calculator

The acceleration using force and mass calculator helps you find the acceleration of an object of a specific mass, when a specific force is applied on it. Read on to know more about how to use this calculator, how force, acceleration and mass relate with each other, and also some examples!

To calculate the acceleration using force and mass, do the following:

1. Find the mass of the object in kg.
2. Measure the force applied on it, in Newtons.
3. Calculate the acceleration by dividing the force by mass.
4. This will give you the acceleration using the force and mass values!

For example, if a force of 50 N is applied to an object of mass 10 kg, then the acceleration experienced by it will be:
a = 50/10 = 5 m/s²

If you find our acceleration using force and mass calculator useful, you might also benefit from our other calculators based on Newton's second law of motion, a couple of which are:

• Newton's second law calculator; and
• Acceleration due to gravity calculator.

a = F / m is the formula to find acceleration from force and mass values. So according to this formula, we'll do the following:

1. We will measure the force (in Newtons) and mass (in kg).
2. We will divide the force (in Newtons) by mass (in kg).
3. This will give us the acceleration in m/s².

4 m/s² is the acceleration produced by a force of 12 N on a body of mass 3 kg. This is obtained by dividing the force value by the mass, which gives us:
12 N / 3 kg = 4 m/s² as the acceleration.
