Object (mass)

📊Calculated Acceleration

Using:

a = \frac{F _{n e t}}{m}

a_x = \frac{F_x}{m} = \frac{

{formatNum(forceX)}}{

{mass}} =

{formatNum(accelerationX)}$ m/s²

a_y = \frac{F_y}{m} = \frac{

{formatNum(forceY)}}{

{mass}} =

{formatNum(accelerationY)}$ m/s²

Magnitude of Acceleration:

∣ a ∣ = a_{x}^{2} + a_{y}^{2} =

{formatNum(accelerationMagnitude)}$ m/s²

Key Insights:

Acceleration direction = Force direction (always!)
Double the force → Double the acceleration
Double the mass → Half the acceleration
