The formula to calculate the acceleration from two masses is:
\[ A = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \]
Where:
Let's say the total force is 100 N, the mass of object 1 is 10 kg, and the mass of object 2 is 20 kg. Using the formula:
\[ A = \frac{100}{10 + 20} = \frac{100}{30} = 3.33 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
So, the acceleration is 3.33 m/s2.
Definition: This calculator helps determine the acceleration of an object given its mass and the applied force.
Formula: \( a = \frac{F}{m} \)
Example: \( a = \frac{100}{50} \)
Definition: To calculate acceleration with only mass, you need to know the force applied to the mass.
Formula: \( a = \frac{F}{m} \)
Example: \( a = \frac{200}{100} \)
Definition: To calculate mass from acceleration, you need to know the force applied and the resulting acceleration.
Formula: \( m = \frac{F}{a} \)
Example: \( m = \frac{300}{10} \)
Definition: This calculator determines the acceleration of an object given its mass and the applied force.
Formula: \( a = \frac{F}{m} \)
Example: \( a = \frac{150}{75} \)
Definition: The relationship between mass and acceleration is defined by Newton's second law of motion.
Formula: \( F = m \times a \)
Example: \( F = 50 \times 2 \)
