Use Newton’s second law: (F = ma)
Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration: (a = frac{F}{m})
Divide the net force by the mass
Use force in newtons (N)
Use mass in kilograms (kg)
The result will be acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²)
If there are multiple forces, find the net force first
Substitute the net force and mass into (a = frac{F}{m})
Calculate the value of (a)
