Calculate Acceleration From Two Masses





Formula

The formula to calculate the acceleration from two masses is:

\[ A = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \]

Where:

Example

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.
