Acceleration — m/s²
The formula
Fx = Σ F cos θ Fy = Σ F sin θ F = √(Fx² + Fy²)
Each force is split into x and y parts, the parts are added, and the totals give the size and direction.
What to watch out for
For forces along one line, use 0° and 180° for the two directions. A blank force counts as zero.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the net force of 30 N and 40 N at right angles?
50 N, at 53.13° from the 30 N force.
What does zero net force mean?
No acceleration. The object stays at rest or keeps moving at a steady velocity.
