How to use this calculator

  1. Enter mass in kg.
  2. Enter acceleration in m/s².
  3. Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.

Before you use the answer

Choose a system boundary and a positive direction before entering measured values. Introductory equations deliberately leave out some real-world effects. If the setup has changing acceleration, drag, losses or nonuniform properties, first decide whether the simplified model is a useful approximation.

Enter the net external force model; individual opposing forces must first be combined.

Why might a result be approximate?

Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
