Calculate the acceleration of an object sliding down an inclined plane with friction. This calculator accounts for the component of gravity along the slope and the opposing friction force.
Enter your values below
Angle of the incline with the horizontal
Coefficient between the object and surface
Default is 9.81 m/s²
How this calculator works
Acceleration along the incline equals gravitational acceleration times (sine of the angle minus coefficient of kinetic friction times cosine of the angle).
