Friction Acceleration Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Friction Acceleration (FA) is:

\[ FA = \frac{FF}{m} \]

Where:

\( FA \) is the friction acceleration (m/s²).
\( FF \) is the friction force (N).
\( m \) is the object's mass (kg).

What is Friction Acceleration?

Friction acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object due to the force of friction acting on it. It is calculated by dividing the friction force by the mass of the object. The units for friction acceleration in the International System of Units (SI) are meters per second squared (m/s²).

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Friction Force (FF): 10 N
Object's Mass (m): 2 kg

Using the formula to calculate the Friction Acceleration:

\[ FA = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ m/s²} \]

This means that the friction acceleration for this example is 5 m/s².
