Coefficient of Friction to Acceleration Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate acceleration from the coefficient of friction is:

$A = \frac{MF - (m \cdot g \cdot CF)}{m}$

Where:

The most common units for Acceleration from the Coefficient of Friction are m/s².

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$A = \frac{100 - (10 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 0.5)}{10} = \frac{100 - 49.05}{10} = \frac{50.95}{10} = 5.095 \text{ m/s²}$

The Acceleration is approximately 5.095 m/s².

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$A = \frac{200 - (15 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 0.3)}{15} = \frac{200 - 44.145}{15} = \frac{155.855}{15} \approx 10.390 \text{ m/s²}$

The Acceleration is approximately 10.390 m/s².
