Calculate Magnitude of Acceleration



Formula

To calculate the Magnitude of Acceleration (A):

$$A = \sqrt{Ax^2 + Ay^2}$$

Where:

What are the Units for Magnitude of Acceleration?

In the International System of Units (SI units), the units for Magnitude of Acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s²).

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$$A = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$$

The Magnitude of Acceleration is 5 m/s².

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$$A = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$$

The Magnitude of Acceleration is 10 m/s².
