Enter the magnitude and direction of up to 5 different acceleration vectors into the calculator to determine the net acceleration.

Net Acceleration Formula

The following formula is used to calculate a net acceleration. 

Ax = A1*cos(a1) + A2*cos(a2) + …
Ay = A1*sin(a1) +A2*sin(a2) +…
Amag = SQRT(Vx^2 + Vy^2)
  • Where Ax is the net x-acceleration
  • Ay is the net y-acceleration
  • A1 – A5 are the individual accelerations
  • a1 – a5 are the angle of the accelerations
