Enter the total number of Newtons and the total mass into the calculator to determine the Acceleration from Newtons.

Newtons to Acceleration Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Newtons to Acceleration.

A = N / m
  • Where A is the Newtons to Acceleration (m/s^2)
  • N is the total number of Newtons ((N))
  • m is the total mass (kg)

To calculate acceleration from newtons, divide the newtons by the mass.

What are the units for Newtons to Acceleration?

In the International System of Units, also known as SI units, the units for Newtons to Acceleration are m/s^2.

How to Calculate Newtons to Acceleration?

Example Problem:

The following example problem outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the Newtons to Acceleration.

First, determine the total number of Newtons. In this example, the total number of Newtons is calculated or measured to be 310 ((N)).

Next, determine the total mass. For this problem, the total mass is determined to be 10 (kg).

Finally, calculate the Newtons to Acceleration using the formula above: 

A = N / m

Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives: 

A = 310 / 10 = 31 (m/s^2)
